Investment projects in Kazakhstan

The Ekibastuz GRES-3 project involves the construction of a large-scale coal-fired power plant designed to strengthen Kazakhstan’s baseload electricity supply and energy security. 7 GW and an annual electricity output of around 20 billion kWh. It will be located within the Ekibastuz energy cluster and fueled by locally sourced Ekibastuz coal, ensuring supply-chain proximity and cost efficiency.

The Zhambyl Wind Farm is a major renewable energy initiative being developed in the Zhambyl Region of Kazakhstan. The project is co-owned and jointly implemented by China Power International Holding Ltd. (CPIH) and SANY Renewable Energy, with each holding an equal stake.

Hyrasia One is a large-scale green hydrogen production project located in the Mangystau region of Kazakhstan. The project is being developed with the participation of international investors, including the German company Svevind. Its primary objective is to produce hydrogen and ammonia for export to European markets.

A large-scale renewable energy project led by TotalEnergies through its subsidiary Total Eren. The project aims to construct a 1 GW wind power plant paired with 600 MWh of battery energy storage in Mirny, Zhambyl Region, Kazakhstan. 5 million tons annually.

SANY Renewable Energy is building a wind turbine components manufacturing plant in Kazakhstan’s Zhambyl Region in partnership with the Samruk-Kazyna sovereign wealth fund. The plant will produce nacelles, hubs, towers, and other key components to supply Kazakhstan's growing wind energy sector.

The project involves the construction of the first waste heat recovery (WHR) power plant in the CIS region that will utilize ferroalloy off-gas from Smelting Shop No. 4 of the Aktobe Ferroalloy Plant, a branch of JSC TNK Kazchrome. The plant will generate up to 80 MW of electricity by capturing and converting gas that is currently flared, reducing harmful emissions and enhancing energy efficiency.

The Zhetisu Wind Farm is a major renewable energy project planned in the Zhetysu region of Kazakhstan near the Dzungarian Gates. The project aims to install a 1 GW onshore wind power facility complemented by a 300 MW/600 MWh energy storage system. Developed by ACWA Power, the project is part of Kazakhstan’s strategy to increase the share of renewable energy in its electricity mix and meet carbon neutrality goals.

The Baiterek project is a joint initiative between Kazakhstan and Russia aimed at modernizing the existing Zenit-M launch pad at the Baikonur Cosmodrome. The goal is to convert it into a modern, environmentally friendly space launch facility for the new Soyuz-5 (also known as “Irtysh”) medium-class launch vehicles.

The project is a large-scale Waste-to-Energy (WtE) facility planned in Almaty, Kazakhstan, designed to convert municipal solid waste into electrical energy through thermal treatment. The plant is expected to process up to 2,000 tons of waste per day, significantly reducing landfill dependency in the city. It will generate approximately 60 MW of electricity, which is intended to be integrated into the local power grid.
