As part of the official visit of Emmanuel Macron, President of France, to Kazakhstan, a joint venture agreement has been signed with Total Eren for the construction of wind power stations in Kazakhstan with a total capacity of 1 GW. Participants of the Kazakhstani side are Samruk-Kazyna JSC and JSC NC KazMunayGas. 

The project is supposed to be implemented in 2 stages, namely, to introduce 300 MW of capacity in the first stage, and after the remaining 700 MW. A power storage system will be installed at the wind power station, which will reduce the risk of network instability due to intermittent wind generation.
