TotalEnergies and its partners have reached a final investment decision (FID) for the US$1.2bn Mirny onshore wind and battery energy storage system (BESS) project in south-east Kazakhstan.
The flagship development will comprise a 1GW wind farm featuring 150 turbines paired with a 600MWh BESS supplied by Saft. Jointly owned by TotalEnergies (60%), Samruk Energy (20%) and KazMunayGas (20%), the facility is scheduled to reach full capacity in 2029.
Backed by a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with the Kazakhstan government, the project aims to generate 100TWh of renewable electricity over its lifespan to supply approximately one million people. A consortium of eight international lenders will cover 75% of the project's external financing.
