Led by Abu Dhabi-based Masdar, the 1 GW project is among the company's flagship renewable energy investments in Central Asia.
The development will include a battery energy storage system capable of delivering up to 300 MW of power and storing 600 MWh of electricity, making it one of the largest integrated renewable energy projects in Eurasia.
The project stems from intergovernmental agreements signed during the COP28 and COP29 climate conferences in 2023 and 2024 and forms part of Masdar's strategy to build 100 GW of renewable energy capacity worldwide by 2030.
Kazakhstan's vast wind-rich steppes, growing electricity demand and supportive policy environment make the country an attractive market for renewable energy investment, said Abdulla Zayed, Executive Director of Business and Project Development at Masdar.
"Kazakhstan has a lot of potential — abundant wind resources, the demand is there. This, coupled with the government's commitment to decarbonisation and a supportive regulatory environment, makes it an attractive market."
