ASTANA, Kazakhstan, February 3. Italy’s Eni has
selected a wind turbine manufacturing plant in Kazakhstan's Shu
city in Zhambyl region as a supplier of wind power equipment for a
hybrid energy project in the city of Zhanaozen, Trend reports via
Samruk-Kazyna.


An official signing ceremony for the contract covering the
supply and installation of wind turbine equipment was held today.
The manufacturing plant is jointly established by Samruk-Kazyna and
China-based SANY Renewable Energy.


Under the agreement, the plant will supply wind turbine
installations with a total capacity of 77 MW. The equipment will be
delivered to Mangistau region as part of the implementation of a
hybrid energy project in the city of Zhanaozen.


On September 2, 2025, the first launch complex for the
production of wind energy components was opened in the Zhambyl
region. The facility manufactures gondolas, hubs, towers, and other
key components for wind power plants.


In 2024, KazMunayGas (KMG) and Eni began the construction of a
hybrid power plant with a capacity of 247 MW in Zhanaozen, which
will operate on solar, wind, and gas energy.







The capacity of the solar power plant is 50 MW, the wind power
plant will have 77 MW, and the gas power plant will contribute 120
MW. The solar power plant was launched in September 2025. In 2026,
KMG and Eni plan to complete the construction of the wind and gas
power plants. After that, the project will operate at full capacity
as a single hybrid energy complex.


According to the country's Ministry of Energy, Kazakhstan's
total renewable electricity generation amounted to 8.621 billion
kWh in 2025, which is a 13.7% increase compared to 2024. Renewable
energy sources accounted for 7% of the total electricity production
in the country, with the total installed capacity of renewable
energy facilities reaching 3.537 GW.


Overall, Kazakhstan's total electricity production in 2025
reached 123.1 billion kWh, while consumption was slightly higher at
124.6 billion kWh. The country’s total installed power generation
capacity increased from 25.3 GW to 26.7 GW during the year.
