Good morning, wonderful people. <\/strong>The weekend is on the horizon, but first we have a couple of significant renewables stories to dig into.<\/p>\n

THE BIG CLIMATE STORY- <\/strong>Saudi renewables giant Acwa Power signed a roadmap agreement with Kazakhstan\u2019s Energy Ministry and Samruk-Kazyna, the country\u2019s sovereign wealth fund, for the 1 GW wind energy and battery storage facility in the country.<\/p>\n

^^ <\/strong>We have the details on this story and more in the news well, below.<\/strong><\/p>\n

THE BIG CLIMATE STORY OUTSIDE THE REGION-<\/strong> There\u2019s no single climate story dominating<\/strong> international headlines this morning<\/strong>, but at least seven people were killed amid evacuation efforts by India and Pakistan as they brace for the \u201cextremely severe\u201d Biparjoy cyclone, which is expected to hit tomorrow. Four boys drowned in rough seas off western Mumbai, while three people were killed in a wall collapse in Kutch and Rajkot districts on the back of high waves in the Arabian Sea and heavy rains, according to Reuters<\/a>. More than 20.5k people have been evacuated from coastal districts in India, while Pakistan\u2019s National Disaster Management Authority said about 100k people will be evacuated by this morning. Concerns over the cyclone have led to the suspension of operations at two of India\u2019s largest ports, Kandla and Mundra. Other ports have also suspended operations due to the cyclone. This year\u2019s first severe cyclone for the two countries comes as the region continues to see climate-driven extreme weather conditions. The oil and container ports\u2019 closures are also getting coverage from Bloomberg<\/a>.<\/p>\n
