Masdar to develop 1 GW wind farm in Kazakhstan

A battery energy storage system will also be built.

Masdar has signed an agreement with its partners for the development of a one-gigawatt wind farm, the Abu Dhabi-based energy firm’s inaugural project in Kazakhstan.

The project will be located in the Jambyl region and will also feature a 600-megawatt-hour battery energy storage system.

Masdar will be the lead project, with W Solar, Qazaq Green Power (a Samruk-Kazyna Group company), and the Kazakhstan Investment Development Fund as the co-developers.

Construction is expected to commence by the first quarter of 2026. When completed, it will energise around 300,000 homes in the south of Kazakhstan, avoiding 2 million tonnes of carbon emissions per year.

The wind farm will also help accelerate Kazakhstan’s energy transition, supporting the country’s ambitions to increase renewables capacity to 15% of its energy supply by 2030 (and to 50 percent by 2050) and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060.
