At a high-level meeting held in Astana, the Ministry of Energy of Kazakhstan and China State Power Investment Corporation officially signed a package of cooperation documents for the Ekibastuz Green Wind Energy Project. This mega project with a total investment of 1.2 billion US dollars and an installed capacity of 1 gigawatt not only marks a milestone in the cooperation between China and Kazakhstan in the field of green energy, but also demonstrates to global investors the enormous potential and firm determination of Kazakhstan as a hot spot for investment in Central Asia. Yellan Akkenenov, the Minister of Energy of Kazakhstan, praised this project as a vivid embodiment of the efficient partnership between the two countries. After its completion, it is expected to generate 3.4 billion kilowatt hours of electricity annually and reduce about 2 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually.

Strategic project implementation, leading in technology scale

The Ekibastuz wind energy project signed this time is not an ordinary energy cooperation. Its strategic significance is first reflected in the huge investment and super large scale - a direct investment of 1.2 billion US dollars will be injected into Pavlodar Oblast in Kazakhstan to build a wind power plant with an installed capacity of up to 1 GW. More importantly, technological leadership: the project will be equipped with advanced energy storage systems, like giant power banks, which can effectively balance the natural fluctuations of wind power generation and ensure stable and reliable power transmission to the national power grid. This power generation and energy storage model represents the cutting-edge development direction in the field of green energy, which not only enhances the economic and practical feasibility of the project itself, but also provides a high standard demonstration for Kazakhstan to build a new type of power system.
