TotalEnergies announces the commissioning of the Cape Ann, its floating storage and regasification unit for liquefied natural gas located in the port of Le Havre. The terminal injected its first megawatt-hours of gas into the grid operated by GRTgaz, using LNG from Norway.
TotalEnergies has contracted 50% of the terminal’s annual capacity of around 5 billion cubic meters, to supply it with LNG from its global portfolio. The remaining capacity will be marketed according to rules approved by the regulator.

TotalEnergies, the world’s third largest LNG player and Europe’s leading regasification player
TotalEnergies is the world’s third largest LNG player with a market share of around 12% and a global portfolio of about 50 Mt/y thanks to its interests in liquefaction plants in all geographies. The Company benefits from an integrated position across the LNG value chain, including production, transportation, access to more than 20 Mt/y of regasification capacity in Europe, trading, and LNG bunkering. TotalEnergies’ ambition is to increase the share of natural gas in its sales mix to close to 50% by 2030, to reduce carbon emissions and eliminate methane emissions associated with the gas value chain, and to work with local partners to promote the transition from coal to natural gas.
