Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) has announced that it had finalized its 1,050-megawatt joint venture.
TotalEnergies has invested about $300 million in the AGEL subsidiary, acquiring a 50% stake in the JV’s projects. In a regulatory filing, Adani Green wrote: "Further to the execution of the joint venture agreement, the company and TotalEnergies owns a 50:50 stake in ARE9L. ARE9L in-turn houses a 1,050 MW project portfolio. TotalEnergies has acquired a 50% stake in ARE9L for an amount of $300 million."
The binding agreement for the JV was announced in September.
