UAE’s Masdar Signs Investment Agreement for 1 GW Wind Project

19 Nov 2024 CW Team

UAE-based renewable energy company Masdar has signed an investment agreement with its partners to develop a 1 GW wind energy project in Kazakhstan’s Jambyl region. The project will include a 600 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). Construction is scheduled to begin by early 2026. The investment agreement was signed between W Solar, Qazaq Green Power—a subsidiary of Kazakhstan’s sovereign wealth fund Samruk-Kazyna—and the Kazakhstan Investment Development Fund on the sidelines of the ongoing COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan. The project, for which the first agreement was signed in January 2023, is expected to power around 300,000 homes and offset about 2 million tons of carbon emissions annually. Kazakhstan’s government has been advancing renewable energy projects to reduce its carbon footprint, targeting 15% renewables in its energy mix by 2030, with a vision of achieving net-zero emissions by 2060. The agreement represents a major investment in the country’s potential as a major clean energy producer. The project is set to be one of the largest wind farms in the Commonwealth of Independent States region. The wind project is Masdar’s inaugural project in Kazakhstan, which highlights its commitment to delivering large-scale renewable energy projects globally. Established in 2006, Masdar aims to have a renewable energy portfolio of 100 GW by 2030 and is expanding its global footprint. It has projects in over 40 countries. Last December, Masdar and Taaleri Energia, a Finland-based renewable energy developer, acquired eight hybrid renewable energy projects in Poland with a combined capacity of 1 GW from Domrel Biuro Us?ug Inwestycyjnych. Last year, Masdar signed an agreement with Dubai Electricity and Water Authority to construct and operate the sixth phase of the 1.8 GW Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park. The project will cost approximately AED5.51 billion
