Regulatory News:
TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) confirms its
commitment to the energy transition in Kazakhstan with the
signature of a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for the Mirny
project. This will be the first PPA signed in the country for a
wind project of such scale. Located in the Zhambyl region, the
project aims to build a 1 GW onshore wind farm combined with a 600
MWh battery energy storage system for a reliable power supply. It
represents an investment of about $1.4 billion. After Irak, it is
another prime example of TotalEnergies’ ability to leverage its
position as a major partner in the upstream sector to speed up the
development of renewable energy in oil and gas countries.
The electricity to be produced by the Mirny project will be sold
in its entirety to the Financial Settlement Center of Renewable
Energy, a public entity owned by the Government of Kazakhstan, for
the supply of the national grid. The project will provide
electricity to 1 million people.
This agreement has been signed in Astana between Total Eren, an
affiliate of TotalEnergies, and the FSC, in the presence of Patrick
Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies and the Minister of
Energy and Mineral Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan,
Almasadam Satkaliyev. TotalEnergies will develop the Mirny project
in partnership with the National Wealth Fund Samruk-Kazyna and the
National Company KazMunayGas, which will each own a 20% stake in
the project.
“This project will contribute to the transition of Kazakhstan to
the green energy and will be a breakthrough in strengthening
French-Kazakh investment cooperation,” said Almassadam
Satkaliyev, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources of the
Republic of Kazakhstan.
"As a global energy leader, TotalEnergies is proud to drive the
energy transition in Kazakhstan through such an innovative project
as Mirny. This wind and battery project will contribute to the
supply and security of the Kazakh power grid. I would like to
express my sincere gratitude to the Kazakh authorities for their
support and collaboration throughout this process. This represents
a significant milestone in TotalEnergies' multi-energy strategy.
TotalEnergies will bring its expertise in managing large-scale
projects to make it a success, " said Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman
and CEO of TotalEnergies.
A wind project contributing to Kazakhstan’s renewable
push
The Mirny project, which will consist of around 200 turbines, is
the largest wind energy initiative ever undertaken in Kazakhstan.
Supported, by both the Kazakh and French authorities, the project
will be a strong contributor to the Kazakh Government's target of
achieving 15% of electricity from renewable sources by 2030. It
will avoid the emission of approximately 3.5 million tons of CO2
annually over the duration of the PPA signed today.
A successful renewable track-record for Total Eren in
Kazakhstan
Total Eren has a proven track record of renewable energy
developments in Kazakhstan. In particular, Total Eren successfully
developed, financed, built, and commissioned in 2019 two solar
photovoltaic farms, M-KAT and Nomad, with a combined capacity of
128 MWp. These solar farms, located in the Zhambyl and Kyzylorda
regions respectively, have been instrumental in diversifying
Kazakhstan's energy mix and reducing carbon emissions.
