China-built wind farm alleviates power shortage in southern Kazakhstan

The wind farm, with 40 wind turbines and a combined capacity of 100 megawatts, is jointly-held by China Power International Holding and Visor Kazakhstan. As central Asia’s largest wind farm built by a Chinese firm, the wind farm was put into operation in 2021, capable of generating 350 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually. It alleviates the power shortage in southern Kazakhstan and has brought the once quiet industrial city back to life. Compared with a thermal power plant with the same capacity, this wind farm is expected to save about 110,000 tons of standard coal per year and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
