On October 26 of this year, Akim of the Ulytau region Berik Abdigaliuli, Partner of Technogruppservice LLP Zhomart Mominbayev and Head of Sinohydro Engineering Bureau Machinery and Equipment Co. Ltd. (a subsidiary of Power China) Mr. Guo Pingzhong signed a Memorandum of Cooperation on the development of two major projects in the field of renewable energy.

The first project is the construction of a 1 GW wind farm in the Zhanaarkinsky district of the Ulytau region. For this purpose, the local authorities have allocated a plot of land with an area of 20,000 hectares, on which the measurement of wind energy potential will begin in the near future. Electricity production by this facility is planned in the amount of 3.4 billion US dollars.kWh per year, the amount of attracted investments will be up to 1 billion.US dollars.

The second project is aimed at organizing the production of load-bearing metal elements of wind turbine towers. The plant's capacity will be 100 towers per year or up to 800 MW of wind farm capacity. A 20-hectare plot of land has already been allocated for the plant in the Zhezkazgan industrial zone, where engineering and geological surveys will also begin in the near future. The amount of attracted investments will be up to 25 million US dollars. The ceremony of laying the capsule of the future plant was held with the participation of the Leadership of the Ulytau region.

In the first nine months of this year, the volume of electricity generated by renewable energy facilities in the total volume of electric energy production amounted to 4.9 billion.kWh, which corresponds to 5.97%.  The increase in electricity generation by renewable energy facilities for 9 months of 2023 compared to 9 months of 2022 is 25%.

On October 11, 2023, an excursion to the 50 MW Solar Power Station "Balkhash" was organized for students of the Polytechnic College of the Corporation "Kazakhmys." The purpose of the excursion was to familiarize future specialists with renewable energy technologies, tasks related to the maintenance and operation of electrical equipment, and ensuring the high technical readiness of the station for uninterrupted energy production.

Talgat Basalov, the head of the solar station, shared information with the students about the principles of electricity generation by solar stations, the environmental friendliness, and the advantages of using solar energy. The excursion sparked genuine interest, allowing students to ask questions about internships and future employment opportunities at the facility.

The popularization of the benefits of renewable energy facilities is a mission of TechnoGroupService LLP, and organizing excursions for professional communities is an essential element of realizing this mission. It aligns with the goals of sustainable development, focusing on improving education, employment, combating climate change, and protecting the environment.
