🌬️ We advised TotalEnergies on its landmark agreements to acquire a stake in OranjeWind, from German renewables developer RWE, in view of supplying #GreenHydrogen to its European refineries and lowering its emissions. This marks TotalEnergies' entry into the Dutch #OffshoreWind market. OranjeWind is a 795 MW offshore wind farm under development in the North Sea in the Netherlands. To tackle the challenges of fluctuating power generation from wind and flexible #energy demand, OranjeWind involves a combination of first-of-a-kind smart innovations and large-scale investments, which will be used in combination to manage power intermittency and grid congestion issues and realise the required match between supply and demand. The core team comprised Liesbeth Buiter, Jeroen Thijssen, Philip Walsh, Pieter Leefers, Hansuya Reddy, Sabine van den Heuvel, Johanneke Butijn, Wouter Fonteijn, Niels Kuil and Maria Boerman. Furthermore Dimitri Slobodenjuk, Caroline Scholke, Marion Meier (Antitrust) and Yannick Niedergethmann (Corporate) from our Düsseldorf office were also part of the wider cross-border team. ➡ Read more: https://okt.to/PughrF #MergersAndAcquisitions #Infrastructure #EnergyTransition #RenewableEnergy
