The vast plains of Almaty Oblast have abundant sunshine all year round, and large areas of flat land are waiting for the development of clean energy. The local area has always hoped to transform its unique sunshine resources into stable power supply and fill the gap in clean energy supply. The implementation of this EPC contract signifies the transition of a large-scale centralized photovoltaic power station from planning to execution. Relying on the joint construction of the the Belt and Road cooperation framework, this is also another practice of China Kazakhstan continuous deepening energy docking, bringing domestic mature photovoltaic technology to Central Asia, and turning sunlight resources into a sustainable power that benefits local industries and people's livelihood.

Good resource endowment

The project is located in Almaty Oblast, Kazakhstan, with a flat and open terrain and abundant solar energy resources, which is very suitable for large-scale centralized photovoltaic development. The planned installed capacity is 700 megawatts, making it one of the largest photovoltaic projects in the local area. The site has less obstruction, sufficient space for array layout, and superior conditions for subsequent construction and operation, which can ensure the long-term stable operation of the power station and lay a solid foundation for the continuous transmission of green electricity to the outside world.

Excellent equipment configuration

The project uses 720 watt N-type high-efficiency double-sided double glass photovoltaic modules, matched with a flat single axis tracking bracket with intelligent reverse tracking function. The technical team will continuously optimize the layout of the photovoltaic array, adjust the bracket angle according to the orientation of the sun, maximize the capture of light, and improve the overall power generation efficiency of the power station. The entire solution is adapted to the climate characteristics of Central Asia, taking into account both power generation capacity and equipment reliability, and ensuring long-term stable income.

Great transformation value

After the completion of the project, it can directly enhance the local clean energy supply capacity, promote the large-scale development of regional solar energy resources, and continuously optimize the local energy structure. The project is in line with the development direction of renewable energy in Kazakhstan, helping the local area to break away from dependence on traditional energy and promote green and low-carbon transformation. As an important carrier of China Kazakhstan energy cooperation, the project also accumulates experience for China Central Asia green infrastructure cooperation and continues to enrich the achievements of green cooperation along the the Belt and Road.

The landing of photovoltaic projects one by one is continuously changing the energy landscape in Central Asia. Relying on the mature domestic new energy industry chain and engineering capabilities, more and more green power projects are taking root in Kazakhstan. The sunshine on this grassland will continue to be converted into clean electricity, supporting the development of local industries and broadening the path of green cooperation between China and Kazakhstan.Editor/Li Xiaohua
