Zhambyl Region Takes the Lead in Kazakhstan’s Wind and Solar Power Projects
Zhambyl Region Leads Kazakhstan in Renewable Energy Efforts
The Zhambyl Region in Kazakhstan has taken a significant step forward in the country’s renewable energy landscape with the deployment of wind and solar power stations. The region recently launched its first industrial wind power station on the Muzbel mountain pass in the Kordai district, making use of the area’s substantial wind energy potential.
In total, the Zhambyl Region is home to 21 renewable energy facilities with a combined capacity of 451.3 megawatts (MW). This includes six hydroelectric power stations (24.4 MW), nine wind power stations (175.65 MW), and six solar power stations (251.25 MW). The region has also outlined a comprehensive plan for the development of renewable energy sources, aiming to increase the number of facilities to 32 with a total capacity of 2.4 gigawatts (GW) by 2030.
The region’s commitment to renewable energy has also sparked interest from foreign investors. The Zhambyl Region presents favorable conditions for the growth of the renewable energy sector, with several major projects in the pipeline. These include the Masdar wind power station by the United Arab Emirates, the China Power International Holding Limited wind power station, and the second Total Eren wind power station with French investments. Additionally, an agreement was signed for the construction of a one-gigawatt wind power station in collaboration with China Power International Holding and SANY Renewable Energy.
These developments underscore the region’s dedication to sustainable energy and its potential for further growth in the renewable energy sector. The Zhambyl Region is poised to be a leader in Kazakhstan’s transition towards renewable energy sources, paving the way for a more sustainable and eco-friendly future.
