SEOUL, South Korea, July 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- TotalEnergies has signed a Solar Power Operating Lease Agreement with South Korean pharmaceutical company Daehwa Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. to install a 1.8 megawatt-peak (MWp) solar photovoltaic (PV) system. The project will be implemented at Daehwa Pharmaceutical's state-of-the-art production site in Hoengseong-gun, Gangwon-do. The signing ceremony was held at Daehwa Pharmaceutical's Seoul office in the Seocho District, with key representatives from both companies in attendance.
Under this 20-year agreement, TotalEnergies will fully invest in, install, operate, and maintain the solar PV system on-site at the premises of Daehwa Pharmaceutical's facilities. The system will comprise over 2,800 solar PV modules and is expected to generate approximately 2,300 megawatt-hours (MWh) of clean electricity annually, equivalent to around 20% of Daehwa Pharmaceutical's current total electricity consumption, avoiding about 1,000 tons of CO2 emissions annually.
Through this collaboration, the two companies aim to replace a portion of the factory's electricity usage with clean energy, contributing to carbon emissions reduction and promoting a sustainable energy transition in compliance with the RE100 initiative.
The project is expected to begin commercial operations in the second half of 2025, following the completion of permitting and construction processes.
Richard Pullen, Representative Director of TotalEnergies Renewables Projects South Korea, commented: "This agreement stands as a model case of active participation in industrial decarbonization in Korea. Based on our partnership with Daehwa Pharmaceutical, we aim to further expand our renewable energy projects across the country."
Eun-Seok Kim, CEO of Daehwa Pharmaceutical, stated, "Through the adoption of this solar power system, Daehwa aims not only to reduce annual energy costs but also to take a meaningful step toward realizing environmentally friendly values by lowering carbon emissions. ESG management is no longer a choice but a necessity, and we will continue to fulfill our role as a responsible company for a sustainable future."

These compelling commissions highlight AlUla's dynamic transformation into a major global destination, where ancient and contemporary expressions converge. This exhibition is part of our broader revitalisation of AlUla as a culturally rich destination to live, work and visit and integral to positioning AlUla in the global dialogue of contemporary art and as a precursor to monumental projects like Wadi AlFann."

Located 1,100 km from Riyadh, in North-West Saudi Arabia, AlUla is a place of extraordinary natural and human heritage. The vast area, covering 22,561km², includes a lush oasis valley, towering sandstone mountains and ancient cultural heritage sites dating back thousands of years to when the Lihyan and Nabataean kingdoms reigned.
The most well-known and recognised site in AlUla is Hegra, the principal southern city of the Nabataean Kingdom and Saudi Arabia's first UNESCO World Heritage Site. AlUla is also home to ancient Dadan, the capital of the Dadan and Lihyan Kingdoms and considered to be one of the most developed 1st millennium BCE cities of the Arabian Peninsula, and Jabal Ikmah, an open air library of hundreds of inscriptions and writings in many different languages.
