Envision Energy has announced a partnership for Kazakhstan’s 1GW Mirny Wind Farm, marking the country’s first large-scale renewable energy project. The company signed a letter of award to supply 124 of its 6.5MW wind turbines for the development. The agreement was formalized during Kazakhstan Energy Week in the capital city of Astana, with key project partners TotalEnergies, Samruk-Energo, and KazMunayGas in attendance.

Led by Aktas Energy in collaboration with the participating companies, the Mirny Wind Farm represents a significant milestone in Kazakhstan’s transition toward cleaner energy. Once operational, the project is expected to generate around four billion kilowatt hours of electricity annually, providing power to more than one million households. It will also contribute to cutting carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 3.5 million tonnes each year.

The project includes a 300MW/600MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) aimed at improving grid stability and enhancing the reliability of energy supply. This combination of wind generation and storage supports Kazakhstan’s broader strategy to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060 and increase renewable energy’s share in the national energy mix.

Envision Energy was selected for its efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective renewable solutions. John Lee, General Manager for Envision Energy Asia & Africa Markets, said: “Kazakhstan is not only a vital partner of Envision Energy in the global energy transition, but also a nation with extraordinary potential to lead Central Asia toward a net-zero future. The Mirny wind project stands as a landmark example of how innovation and cross-border collaboration can come together to deliver clean, reliable, and affordable energy at scale. With our advanced 6.5MW turbines, localised capabilities, and renewable-powered global supply chain, we are proud to support Kazakhstan’s ambition to achieve 15% renewable energy by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060.”

The first turbines are expected to arrive in Kazakhstan by late 2026, with construction scheduled to begin in the same year. The project will integrate advanced wind technology with localized development efforts, promoting both technological progress and regional economic growth.

TotalEnergies Renewables Kazakhstan Managing Director Thierry Plaisant said: “No nation or company can tackle climate change alone; it requires cross-border collaboration, technological excellence, and a shared vision. With the advanced turbine technology, global expertise, and strong commitment to local content development, Envision Energy is the partner of choice for Kazakhstan’s landmark wind energy project. Together with Envision, we are confident that the Mirny project will play a pivotal role in helping Kazakhstan achieve 15% renewable energy in its national energy mix by 2030, delivering reliable, efficient, and sustainable clean energy while creating lasting economic and social benefits for local communities.”

In a related development, Envision Energy recently signed a 132MW turbine supply agreement with mining company Fortescue for its first large-scale wind power project in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
