The deal was signed on the sidelines of the COP28 UN climate summit, which is being held in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and lead by Masdar chairman Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber.
The project’s two phases with 500MW of capacity can generate enough clean energy for 900,000 households.
The MOU was signed at the COP28 summit in Dubai and will be valid from 2023 to 2028.
Entailing an investment of $1.4bn, the Mirny project is being developed by TotalEnergies, Samruk-Kazyna and KazMunayGas.
The capital commitment will help energyRe to expand its large-scale renewable energy portfolio in the US.
The agreement, signed at the COP28 summit, forms part of ADB’s Energy Transition Mechanism programme.
COP28 is set to see countries offer a response to the Global Stocktake synthesis report, published earlier this year, which showed that the world remains well off track from its climate targets.

Per GlobalData, the market for battery energy storage is estimated to grow to $14.89 billion in 2027, driven by several factors including, the fall in battery technology prices and the increasing need for grid stability and resilience of the integration of renewable power in the power market. Lithium-ion has eclipsed lead-acid as the primary technology for battery storage deployment.
The power industry is investing heavily in AI and ML to help decarbonize the energy sector, such as sensor-connected power plants and smart grids to balance electricity supply and demand. AI is driving measurable improvements in renewable energy forecasting, grid operations and optimization, the coordination of distributed energy assets, and demand-side management.
