Employees involved in the project celebrate its groundbreaking.
The Kazakhstan Khromtau 150 Megawatts Wind Power Project has recently broken ground. It is the first project to be carried out under an EPC contract and built by POWERCHINA in Kazakhstan using short-term special risk financing.
The project is located in the Aktobe Region and will include the installation of 24 wind turbine units, each with a single unit capacity of 6.25 MW, making it the largest wind power project in Kazakhstan. During the construction phase, it is expected to create around 300 jobs.
The project will supply 18.89 gigawatt-hours of clean electricity to the local grid annually, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 520,000 metric tons per year. It will effectively meet the local industrial electricity demand, bringing significant economic, environmental, and social benefits.
