BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 17. The assembly of
the first wind power equipment sets has begun at a joint plant of
Samruk-Kazyna JSC and SANY Renewable Energy in Shu, Kazakhstan.


This is reported by the Samruk-Kazyna press service.


The plant, launched in 2025, is the first facility of its kind
in the country, established to develop local production of
renewable energy equipment. Located in the Jibek Joly Special
Economic Zone, the plant specializes in manufacturing components
for wind turbines.


The first batch of equipment will be supplied under a contract
signed with Eni S.p.A. in February 2026. The equipment is intended
for a hybrid power plant project in Zhanaozen, being implemented by
KazMunayGas JSC jointly with Eni S.p.A.


Under the contract, the plant will manufacture and supply 10
sets of wind power installations with a combined capacity of 77 MW
by mid-November 2026.


As of August 10, three sets of nacelles and hubs, key components
of wind turbines, had been delivered to the plant. Another seven
sets of components are expected to be delivered by the end of
August for subsequent assembly into complete wind power
installations.







The company is also working to attract new orders from
international companies planning to implement wind energy projects
in Kazakhstan.


The plant has an annual production capacity of up to 2 GW. It
will manufacture nacelles, hubs and other key wind turbine
components.


"The project is the result of a partnership between
Samruk-Kazyna JSC and SANY Renewable Energy, one of the world's
leading wind power equipment manufacturers. The project is creating
a new high-tech wind turbine production facility with an R&D
center, which will not only enable the production of key equipment
components in Kazakhstan but also develop expertise in modern wind
energy technologies," Samruk-Kazyna Chairman of the Management
Board Nurlan Zhakupov said.


The launch of production is also expected to create 300
permanent jobs in Kazakhstan's Zhambyl region. The project is also
expected to generate economic benefits through tax payments and
other mandatory contributions.
