Why is TotalEnergies seeking compensation for its NordSee Energies 2 offshore wind project in Germany?

TotalEnergies is seeking compensation due to uncertainty over the grid-connection timeline for its NordSee Energies 2 (NSE2) project — a planned 1.5-gigawatt offshore wind farm in the North Sea — and unsuccessful discussions with German authorities to determine conditions under which it could return the concession; the company stated it will pursue appropriate avenues to seek compensation for the delays and uncertainties related to the grid connection timelines.

What actions has TotalEnergies taken to preserve its rights regarding the NSE2 project despite the grid delay issues?

To protect its rights under the concession, TotalEnergies has submitted the application for approval of the NSE2 project and made the first 10% installment payment as required by the license agreement.
