Contexte et Environnement

TOTAL has announced its ambition to achieve carbon neutrality across all its activities by 2050, together with society. This climate ambition requires us to embark on a decade of transformation and in particular to massively develop the production of electricity from renewable sources. Our goal is to reach 100 GW of production by 2030 and to be among the top 5 companies in the sector.

As part of this ambition, and in order to make the most of the Company’s international footprint, we have decided to increase the business development efforts in the countries where the Company has already a presence and where renewables have a growth potential.

First phase consists in identifying utility scale renewable projects that could be developed or local developers with a portfolio of early stage renewable projects to partner with or to acquire. You will be primarily in charge of building the relationship and engage in discussions with developers of projects/pipelines of projects, national and local authorities as well as potential public and private offtakers, in order to identify the opportunities.

Second phase, once the opportunity to pursue a project is validated, the REx is to lead or participate to the negotiation of the project, identify the key enablers to the success of the project (regulation, access to the electricity grid, land, revenue schemes, …) and carry out the necessary advocacy activities with the authorities.
