Kazakhstan has strong wind energy potential, especially in the central, northern and northwestern regions. Supported by competitive auctions and bilateral agreements that have attracted significant foreign investment, the country's installed wind capacity is approaching 2 GW. ACWA Power and Masdar have each signed agreements for 1 GW, while TotalEnergies secured a PPA for Kazakhstan's 1 GW Mirny onshore wind project in the Zhambyl region.

Following Sany's investment plan for a nacelle assembly plant, Envision has partnered with Samruk Energy to develop a turbine nacelle and energy storage facility. Construction work has begun, with production expected to begin later this year for Sany and in Q3 2026 for Envision. In November 2024, China and Kazakhstan signed a renewable energy cooperation agreement covering 1.8 GW of projects, including wind and solar. A 1.8 GW auction is planned for 2025, with 66% allocated to wind.
