For customers and the grid, the development delivers long-term energy security, reduced emissions, and stable generation costs. The contract reflects continued investment momentum in onshore wind across the Asia-Pacific region and aligns with Siemens Gamesa’s strategy to expand in key global renewable markets while supporting national decarbonization targets.
TotalEnergies Seeks USD 250m Financing for 1-GW Renewable Build in Kazakhstan
TotalEnergies is seeking around USD 250 million in financing to support a 1-GW renewable energy build in Kazakhstan, underlining its expansion in Central Asia’s clean energy market. The portfolio is expected to include large-scale wind and solar projects, aligned with the country’s efforts to diversify its power mix and cut emissions. The financing push highlights growing international investment in emerging renewable markets, supported by strong resource potential and rising electricity demand. For customers and the grid, the projects are set to deliver reliable, low-carbon power, enhance energy security, and support economic development. The initiative aligns with TotalEnergies’ strategy to scale its global renewables portfolio and supports Kazakhstan’s energy transition and climate objectives.
EEW Launches Wind Decommissioning Strategy to Support Circular Offshore Wind
EEW has launched a dedicated wind decommissioning strategy, targeting the growing need to manage end-of-life onshore and offshore wind assets across Europe. The approach focuses on safe dismantling, recycling, and reuse of steel structures, aligning with circular economy principles and stricter environmental standards. The strategy reflects rising investment in lifecycle solutions for wind energy, as early-generation projects approach retirement. By offering decommissioning services alongside fabrication expertise, EEW aims to reduce environmental impact, lower project risk, and optimize material recovery. For asset owners and communities, the strategy delivers compliant, cost-effective decommissioning, job creation, and improved sustainability outcomes. The move strengthens EEW’s position across the full offshore wind value chain, supporting Europe’s energy transition and responsible wind industry growth.
