ACWA Power signs roadmap agreement for wind energy-battery storage in Kazakhstan

The wind project will have a capacity of 1 gigawatt.

ACWA Power has signed a roadmap agreement for the development of a 1-gigawatt wind energy and battery storage project in Kazakhstan.

The roadmap agreement was signed with the Ministry of Energy of Kazakhstan and Samruk-Kazyna.

“The signing today exemplifies the remarkable progress of the 1GW wind and battery storage project, setting the stage for Kazakhstan's stride towards its clean energy ambitions,” Marco Arcellli, CEO, ACWA Power, said.

“The transformative project will have a profound impact on the country's socioeconomic landscape, and we are truly honoured to be an integral part of this journey. Our appreciation goes to the Kazakhstani government and the visionary leadership of HRH Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman Al Saud, Minister of Energy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, for their unwavering support, invaluable guidance and unparalleled commitment.”

The 1GW wind project represents ACWA Power's entry into Kazakhstan, and with an investment tag of US$1.5b. This is also the biggest Saudi investment in Kazakhstan's power sector to date.

With completion scheduled for 2027, the development will play a crucial role in decarbonising fossil fuel-based power generation.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
