Envision Energy Marks Historic Groundbreaking for Renewable Facility in Kazakhstan
Envision Energy Makes History in Kazakhstan
On January 17, 2025, Envision Energy witnessed a historic moment with the groundbreaking of its renewable energy facility in Kazakhstan. This venture is pivotal for the company's global outreach in clean energy technology and represents a concrete step towards Kazakhstan's carbon neutrality goal set for 2060.
Significance of the Project
The renewable energy plant is expected to produce wind turbines and energy storage systems. This ambitious project follows a strategic agreement made with Kazakhstan Utility Systems LLP, one of the leading players in the nation’s energy industry. The groundbreaking event was attended by key dignitaries including Mr. Sungat Yesimkhanov, Vice Minister of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and Ms. Lu Anqi, Counselor of the Consulate General of China in Almaty, among others.
The facility, with a total investment of 40 million USD, boasts an impressive production capacity. It aims to produce 2 GW of wind turbines, anticipated to be around 250 units annually, alongside 1 GWh of energy storage solutions, translating to 100 units per year. Remarkably, 60% of the output is designated for the local market, while the remaining 40% is intended for export to regions within Central Asia and the Caucasus.
Economic and Job Impact
This facility is projected to create over 3,000 jobs, with approximately 300 of these being core production roles. The operational launch of this facility is scheduled for the third quarter of 2026, promising a significant economic boost and job creation in the region.
Envision Energy's commitment to supporting Kazakhstan through this venture aligns with its goal of providing innovative renewable energy systems. The company aims to deliver comprehensive technical support during each phase of the project, which includes design, production, and operational management of renewable energy facilities.
Addressing Local Needs
One of the facility’s strategic advantages is its role in maximizing wind and energy storage integration. This synergy not only addresses local energy demand but also reduces transportation costs and environmental footprints within the supply chain. A service and technical support center will also be established, aimed at nurturing local talent and improving professional development opportunities for the workforce in Kazakhstan.
Statement from Leadership
Kane Xu, Envision Energy's Senior Vice President, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration stating, "We are delighted to partner with Kazakhstan Utility Systems LLP for this groundbreaking initiative. Our state-of-the-art technological solutions will assist Kazakhstan in its mission to lower carbon emissions and foster sustainable energy practices, all while attracting international investments."
