The time-honored Silk Road witnesses the evergreen friendship for thousands of years; a new green land teams with infinite clean energy.
The Silk Road with thousands of years of history not only connects mountains, waters, and trade, but also mirrors the exchanges and resonances of civilizations. As the place where the “Belt and Road Initiative” (BRI) was first proposed, Kazakhstan has been a hub on the Eurasian continent since ancient times. Today, this land full of infinite possibilities has once again become a vital stage for China's high-quality cooperation with foreign countries, and new bonds are extending amid the rhythm of wind power. As a pacesetter in China's wind power field, WINDEY has leveraged the opportunities arising from BRI and actively taken root in the Kazakhstani market, whispering the story of green development amid gentle wind.
The Wind Blows across the Grassland: Awaken the "New Life of the Green Field"
Located in the north of Kazakhstan, the Akmola Region features intertwined deserts and grasslands, so that its wind energy resources are extremely abundant. The initial connection between WINDEY and Kazakhstan began to extend slowly in this vast land.
On December 28, 2022, the Phase I 150-megawatt wind power project of the Akmola Region, in which WINDEY served as the supplier, achieved full-capacity grid connection. Since then, 30 "Giant Wind Turbines" have risen from the grassland, implying the first cooperation between WINDEY and Kazakhstan. This project not only became an exemplary benchmark for wind power installations in Kazakhstan, but created the record for the largest-capacity wind farm in Kazakhstan.
The story still continued. On September 17, 2023, the Phase II 56-megawatt project of the Akmola Region was successfully connected to the grid, marking another breakthrough for the premium co-construction of the "Belt and Road" by China and Kazakhstan in the renewable energy field. Today, 41 wind turbines in the Akmola Project Cluster supply more than 800 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity to local people every year, bringing down carbon dioxide emissions by up to 650,000 tons. The continuous stream of green energy shuttles along the power grid that extends in all directions, lighting up the green future of hundreds of thousands of households.
Tiding over Snowstorms: Keeping Watch in the "Long Season"
The "Stunning at the First Sight" does not happen overnight, and it aggregates the wisdom and tenacity of the WINDEY people.
Winter in Kazakhstan is long and in severe cold, with the lowest temperature often dropping to minus 40 degrees Celsius. Astana, capital of Kazakhstan, is even known as "The Second Coldest Capital in the World." Adverse factors such as fierce snowstorms and the "Frozen Soil Period" for construction have come one after another, bringing huge challenges to the construction and operation of wind power projects. In face of extremely harsh environmental conditions, the project team of WINDEY worked hard against challenges, earnestly studied the owner’s demands, measured every plot of land by foot, meticulously assessed every wind energy data, and kept optimizing the construction plan, so as to cope with the dual tests from complex landform and harsh climate at ease. By virtue of intelligent design, efficient construction, and full-fledged supply chain, the project team achieved on-time grid connection despite the repeated shortening of the construction period. This not only exemplified WINDEY's strong belief in "Winning with Quality" and its service motto, but also won high recognition from its partners.
By virtue of its profound technical experience and refined solutions, WINDEY has made remarkable contributions to the transformation and upgrading of Kazakhstan's new energy industry. During the project operation, the availability rate of the Akmola Project Cluster reached as high as 99.78%, breaking industry records many times and becoming an exemplary case in the green cooperation between China and Kazakhstan.
Sowing Hope: Depict the "Gathering of Wind for A Chain"
The successful grid connection of the Akmola Project Cluster opens the prelude for WINDEY to go deep into the Kazakhstan market and even the Central Asian market. Taking this as a base, WINDEY has actively worked with local government and relevant enterprises to keep deepening the cooperation. In October 2024, the first wind turbine of the Karaganda Region Project in Kazakhstan was successfully hoisted. This project adopted 21 WINDEY WD200-7700 generator sets, making it the wind turbine with the largest single-unit capacity in Central Asia. It is expected that the project will achieve full grid connection in early 2025, adding brilliance to Kazakhstan's energy transformation.
In addition, WINDEY is also committed to promoting local employment and the industrial chain’s coordinated development. It advocates recruiting local workers for project construction and stresses the localization of technology and resources in the preparation of the wind power equipment manufacturing base. This not just helps improve local clean energy manufacturing level but also provides solid support for Kazakhstan to achieve its "Dual Carbon" targets.
Panning the Future Together: Writing a "Green Chapter"
As an important practitioner of BRI, WINDEY takes technological innovation as the core and sustainable development as the goal to keep providing high-quality clean energy solutions for countries along the "Belt and Road". With the Akmola Project Cluster as a precedent and the Hope of Achieving Carbon Targets in sight, WINDEY is actively devising the up-to-the-minute layout in the Central Asian market, in an effort to activate a new development engine for the green cooperation between China and Kazakhstan.
Gathering wind to generate electricity, and swallowing green energy to make profits. Those rotating impellers are not only a powerful witness to the friendship between China and Kazakhstan, but also a vital tool to boost the energy transformation. In the future, WINDEY will continue to promote the implementation of green energy projects in Central Asia with a higher vision and a broader insight. We firmly believe that the tide of clean energy will start from the Akmola Region, go through grasslands and mountains,and continuously empower countries along the "Belt and Road", jointly composing a magnificent chapter of green development.
