“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.
