Masdar has signed an investment agreement with W Solar, Qazaq Green Power, and the Kazakhstan Investment Development Fund to develop a 1 GW wind farm in Kazakhstan’s Jambyl region, marking Masdar’s first project in the country. The project includes a 600 MWh battery storage system to enhance grid stability.

Construction of the wind facility is set to begin in Q1 2026, supporting Kazakhstan’s energy transition goals to reach 15% renewable capacity by 2030 and 50% by 2050, with a long-term vision for carbon neutrality by 2060.
