Envision Energy to Power Kazakhstan’s Landmark 1 GW Mirny Wind Farm

Envision Energy, a global green technology leader, has announced a collaboration in Kazakhstan’s 1 GW Mirny Wind Farm, the nation’s largest and most ambitious renewable energy project to date. The agreement, formalised through a Letter of Award (LOA) during Kazakhstan Energy Week in Astana, will see Envision supply 124 of its advanced 6.5 MW wind turbines for the project.

Transforming Kazakhstan’s Energy Landscape

The project is being developed by Aktas Energy, a joint venture between TotalEnergies, Samruk-Energo JSC, and KazMunayGas. 

Once operational, the project will generate approximately 4 billion kWh of clean electricity annually, enough to power over one million households and prevent nearly 3.5 million tons of CO2 emissions each year.

The project will also integrate a 300 MW/600 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), marking a major step forward for Kazakhstan’s grid stability and energy security. This hybrid configuration will support the nation’s commitment to achieve 15 percent renewable energy in its power mix by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060.

Envision’s Role and Technology

Envision Energy’s 6.5 MW turbines are designed to deliver in challenging wind conditions, making them suitable for the region’s vast steppe landscapes, the official statement notes. The first turbines are expected to arrive by late 2026, with construction scheduled to begin the same year.

John Lee, General Manager of Asia & Africa Markets at Envision Energy said “the Mirny wind project is a landmark example of how innovation and cross-border collaboration can create clean, reliable, and affordable energy at scale. With our advanced turbines, localised capabilities, and renewable-powered global supply chain, we are proud to support Kazakhstan’s renewable ambitions,” he added

Thierry Plaisant, Managing Director for TotalEnergies Renewables Kazakhstan, said, “No nation or company can tackle climate change alone - it requires collaboration, technological excellence, and a shared vision. Together with Envision, we are confident that the Mirny project will advance Kazakhstan’s renewable energy targets, delivering sustainable energy while fostering economic and social benefits for local communities.”
