Since becoming operational in June 2021, the Zhanatas Wind Farm has been helping sustainable power development in south Kazakhstan.  

The wind farm is a joint project between State Power Investment Corp. Ltd., one of China’s leading power generation groups, and Kazakh partners within the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative. Each of its 40 wind turbines is more than 30 stories high. It makes use of the region’s windy conditions to provide clean energy and jobs for locals like engineer Maksat Abilgaziev.
