TotalEnergies ENEOS successfully deployed Imerys' first onsite solar project in Southeast Asia
With nearly 1,800 solar modules installed, the system is set to generate an estimated 1,400 megawatt-hours (MWh) of renewable electricity annually, reducing the annual CO2 emissions by approximately 790 tons. This is equivalent to planting over 11,850 trees.
Guillaume Delacroix, Senior Vice President, Imerys Performance Minerals EMEA and APAC said: "Imerys aims to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42% in absolute terms by 2030 (from a 2021 baseline), in line with the 1.5°C trajectory. The solar project at Ipoh is one of similar Power Purchasing Agreements at our specialty mineral production sites around the world, and a concrete example of what Imerys is doing to achieve this ambitious goal".
Prasanna Karandikar, Industrial Director, Imerys Performance Minerals APAC added, "The partnership with TotalEnergies ENEOS has enabled us to reduce our energy costs without any upfront investment or operational risks, allowing us to maintain our focus on our core business in Malaysia. Imerys intends to step up the energy transition of its specialty minerals business in the Asia Pacific region with similar projects at other sites, including its Wuhu talc and calcium carbonate operations deployed in 2024. Switching to sustainable energy sources such as solar power not only enables us to lower our own carbon footprint, it allows us to offer customers products with an improved eco-profile. At the end of the day, it's a win-win situation for our entire value chain!"
Alexandru Buzatu, Director of TotalEnergies ENEOS Renewables Distributed Generation Asia Pacific commented: "We are proud to partner with Imerys on their first onsite solar project in Southeast Asia, supporting their decarbonization journey. This partnership underscores our commitment to providing cost efficient and sustainable energy solutions to our customers. We look forward to a fruitful collaboration with Imerys, paving the way for future initiatives."
Under the 25-years Power Purchasing Agreement (PPA), there is no upfront investment required by Imerys, bringing about significant cost savings for the client. TotalEnergies ENEOS fully funded, installed, and will operate and maintain the solar system, while Imerys will purchase the electricity produced for the duration of the PPA.
The deployment of the solar system in Malaysia further highlights Imerys' commitment to improve energy efficiency and increase use of renewable electricity at its sites globally.

India's SECI cancels two offshore wind tenders worth 4.5GW
The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has cancelled two significant offshore wind energy tenders due to a lack of interest from developers. The tenders, including a 500MW project under the viability gap funding scheme and a 4,000MW sea-bed lease rights allocation, were both aimed at boosting India's offshore wind capacity. SECI had sought bids for a 500MW inter-state transmission system-connected offshore wind project in Gujarat, to be developed on a build-own-operate basis. The successful bidder would have signed a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with the SECI and conducted necessary seabed surveys and development activities to achieve financial closure. Despite the initial anticipation, the response from developers was underwhelming, leading to the tenders' cancellation. Citing an individual close to the situation, the Economic Times mentioned that SECI might consider issuing a revised tender, but has not yet decided. The individual said: "There may be some changes. The idea is not off. "It (the project) has not been able to generate that sort of interest from developers. This is the first time there is an attempt to establish... and it is a complex technology while being capital intensive.' The tender for the 500MW offshore wind energy project was initially released in September 2024, with the final date for offline bid submissions set for 4 August 2025. The SECI serves as an implementing agency for the development of solar, wind and hybrid projects as part of fulfilling India's nationally determined contributions (NDCs). To achieve this, SECI releases tenders for the selection of renewable energy developers for the establishment of projects on a Pan-India or state-specific basis. The selection process for successful bidders is carried out via a tariff-based competitive e-bidding procedure. "India's SECI cancels two offshore wind tenders worth 4.5GW" was originally created and published by Energy Monitor, a GlobalData owned brand.
