TotalEnergies has signed deals with key partners to develop a 1GW wind farm in Kazakhstan.
TotalEnergies has signed an agreement with its partners Samruk-Kazyna and KazMunayGas to develop the Mirny project, which is part of an intergovernmental agreement to cooperate in the field of combating global warming, between France and Kazakhstan.
The 200 wind turbines, totalling 1GW of installed capacity, will be combined with a 600 megawatt-hour battery.
TotalEnergies has two solar power plants in operation, in the country, with a capacity of 128MW.
“TotalEnergies is fully committed to providing its expertise and know-how to develop Kazakhstan’s natural resources, as we are doing as partner of the giant Kashagan field.
“On the one hand, we dynamically manage our portfolio by disposing of mature, non-core assets such as the Dunga field.
“On the other, we are very proud to support the country’s low carbon development ambition through the major Mirny wind project,” said Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies.
