On Friday, TotalEnergies SE (NYSE:TTE) approved a $1.2 billion final investment decision for the Mirny wind and battery project in Kazakhstan, with about 75% of funding secured from external lenders.
The project combines 1 GW of onshore wind capacity with a 600 MWh battery system to improve grid reliability. It is expected to generate 100 TWh of electricity over 25 years—enough to power roughly 1 million people—under a long-term power purchase agreement with the government.
TotalEnergies holds a 60% stake, alongside Samruk Energy and KazMunayGas.
Technical Analysis
TotalEnergies is still trading near the top of its 52-week range, sitting just under the April peak near $93.49, which keeps the bigger-picture uptrend in focus. The stock is trading 0.7% below its 20-day simple moving average (SMA) and 17.7% above its 100-day SMA, a mix that points to short-term cooling but a still-firm intermediate trend.
The moving average convergence divergence (MACD), a trend/momentum measure, is below its signal line and the histogram is negative, which leans toward fading upside momentum after the April run. When MACD sits under its signal, it often reflects buyers losing control of the near-term pace even if the trend is still up.
- Key Resistance: $93.50 — where recent rallies have stalled near the 52-week high area.
- Key Support: $85.50 — a level that’s acted like a floor during pullbacks.
