TotalEnergies SE ( (FR:TTE) ) just unveiled an announcement.

TotalEnergies has approved and financed the Mirny onshore wind and battery energy storage project in southeast Kazakhstan, a $1.2 billion investment combining a 1 GW wind farm of 150 turbines with a 600 MWh storage system supplied by affiliate Saft. The project, majority-owned by TotalEnergies alongside Samruk Energy and KazMunayGas, will sell power under a 25-year agreement with the Kazakh government and is expected to generate enough renewable electricity over 25 years to supply about 1 million people.

By integrating large-scale storage, Mirny will enhance grid stability and upgrade Kazakhstan’s energy infrastructure, supporting the national target of lifting renewables’ share of power generation to 15% by 2030 and its 2060 net-zero ambition. The venture, financed about 75% by an international lending consortium including EBRD and several major banks, also strengthens TotalEnergies’ wider renewables portfolio in Asia and underlines its strategy of expanding firm, low-carbon electricity in emerging markets.
