Federico Pugliese. This was reported by the regional akimat. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Sputnik Kazakhstan.
In May 2026, the company won an auction organized by the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan for the right to build a wind power plant with a capacity of 100 MW.
"After the facility is commissioned, it will produce about 400 GWh of electricity per year. After the final investment decision is made, the project implementation is planned for 2026–2028," the statement said.

Its implementation fully corresponds to the strategic objectives for the development of renewable energy sources, the introduction of modern technologies, and ensuring sustainable economic growth," said the akim of the region.
