Wind Potential of the Ulytau Region

Wind Potential of the Ulytau Region

As part of the cooperation between "TechnoGroupService" LLP and the Chinese corporation POWER CHINA on projects for the development of a 1 GW wind farm in the Zhanaarka district of the Ulytau region and the construction of a plant for the production of metal sections for wind turbine towers, pre-investment activities are ongoing. Project and survey work is being carried out on the allocated land plots, including the installation of a meteorological mast and Lidar equipment to measure wind energy potential. Kazakh and Chinese partners are working on structuring project financing and determining potential sales volumes for the future plant's products.

Representatives of the regional Akimat provide constant support for the projects' implementation. On July 3, 2024, Deputy Akim of the Ulytau region Zhanibek Nupirov and Head of the Department of Entrepreneurship and Industry Gaziz Toleuov visited the industrial base of "TechnoGroupService LLP", as well as the 1.2 MW "Zhez-Solar" SPP and the 10 MW "Kengir" SPP, which were built and are maintained by the company.

During the visit, current issues regarding the implementation of the promising "Zhanaarka" 1 GW WPP project and the wind turbine tower metal structure plant project were discussed. A reporting meeting with POWER CHINA and SINO HYDRO is scheduled to coordinate actions and ensure timely conditions for project implementation.
