"Under intergovernmental agreements, the Ministry of Energy, together with JSC 'Samruk-Kazyna' National Welfare Fund, has begun implementing renewable energy projects: in the Zhambyl region, Total Energies will construct a 1 GW wind power plant; Masdar will develop a 1 GW wind power plant in the same region; Unigreen Energy will execute a 1 GW project; and a 1 GW wind power plant will be built in the Zhetysu region. Under these projects, locally produced equipment will account for no less than 30%. Large-scale projects are expected to begin construction and installation works in 2025.
Additionally, an intergovernmental agreement has been signed with the People's Republic of China for the implementation of renewable energy projects with a total capacity of 1.8 GW. This agreement also provides the opportunity to include additional renewable energy projects within its framework," the Ministry of Energy of Kazakhstan stated.
