Masdar has officially commenced construction on a 1GW wind farm in the Zhambyl region of Kazakhstan. Representing a US$1.4bn investment, the facility stands as one of Central Asia's largest integrated wind and battery projects.
The development features a 600MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) to reinforce grid stability, alongside the installation of more than 400km of overhead transmission lines. The project is being delivered by Masdar in partnership with W Solar, Qazaq Green Power and the Kazakhstan Investment Development Fund. Once fully operational, the wind park is expected to provide clean electricity to approximately 880,000 homes annually.
Furthermore, Masdar has signed a roadmap agreement with the Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development to develop the country's first round-the-clock clean energy project, designed to supply 200MW of baseload power for regional data centres and AI infrastructure.
