The Mirny project will feature 200 wind turbines and be paired with a 600MWh battery storage system.

Once operational, the facility will have the capacity to meet the energy requirements of more than one million people in the country.

Its development is part of an intergovernmental agreement between France and Kazakhstan on the implementation of cooperation in the field of addressing the climate crisis.

TotalEnergies chairman and CEO Patrick Pouyanné said: “TotalEnergies is fully committed to providing its expertise and know-how to develop Kazakhstan’s natural resources, as we are doing as the partner of the giant Kashagan field.

“These agreements demonstrate TotalEnergies’ energy transition strategy. 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.”

TotalEnergies said the agreement has bolstered its presence in Kazakhstan’s renewable energy segment.

The company has also sold its Total E&P Dunga affiliate to Kazakhstan-based company Oriental Sunrise for $330m.

The deal is subject to approval from Kazakhstani authorities and the waiver of the partners’ preemption rights.

In October this year, TotalEnergies created a joint venture with Casa dos Ventos (CDV) to develop, build and operate a 12GW renewable portfolio in Brazil.

The portfolio includes 700MW of operational onshore wind capacity and 1GW of onshore wind capacity, which is currently being developed.

CDV will own a 66% stake in the JV while the remaining 34% will be held by TotalEnergies.
