April 24 : French energy major TotalEnergies on Friday agreed to invest in a Kazakhstan-based onshore wind and energy storage project valued at $1.2 billion, with roughly 75 per cent of it financed externally, the company said.
The project, code-named “Mirny”, combines one gigawatt of wind capacity with 600 megawatt hours of battery energy storage. TotalEnergies expects the project to reach full capacity in 2029.
