BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 28.
Three wind power plants with a combined capacity of 450 MW will be
built in Kazakhstan’s Akmola region under an agreement signed on
September 25 during the Kazakhstan-China Investment Forum in
Almaty, the regional akimat’s press service said today.


The agreement was signed by Akmola Region Governor
Marat Akhmetzhanov and Sungrow Renewable Development Co., Ltd.
Director Xu Mingfeng.


The planned wind power plants will have capacities of
300 MW, 100 MW and 50 MW. The total investment in the projects is
expected to reach $500 million. The 300-MW wind farm will be
located in Esil district, while two facilities with a combined
capacity of 150 MW will be built in Zerendi district. Construction
is scheduled for 2026–2028.


The land plots have already been allocated, while
design and estimate documentation has been prepared and state
expert review has been completed. Construction and installation
works are scheduled to begin in October 2026.


“We have been cooperating with Sungrow for a long
time and successfully. In 2023, renewable energy projects with a
combined capacity of 221 MW were implemented in Arshaly district.
The investment volume exceeded 100 billion tenge (about $227.7
million). The new project will help increase renewable energy
capacity, attract private investment and create new jobs. The
akimat will support the projects at all stages,” Akhmetzhanov
said.







Separately, the governor signed an agreement with
China’s East Hope Group on the completion of the modernization of a
grain storage facility in Kazakh village of Zhaksyn district.


The investor acquired an existing grain elevator and
is currently reconstructing the facility. Upon completion, the
enterprise will be able to receive, store, and process wheat and
produce up to 100,000 tons of feed flour annually.


Investment in the project is estimated at $6 million.
Construction work is currently about 80% complete, with the
upgraded facility scheduled to be commissioned in October 2026. The
project is expected to create 30 permanent jobs once it reaches
full capacity.
