Recently, Mezgilder Qushteri 100MW wind power project in Kazakhstan, invested in and constructed by Universal Energy, completed the cross-border transportation of all wind turbine equipment, including blades exceeding 98 meters in length. This marks the successful conclusion of a "Silk Road journey" across mountains and rivers.

Mezgilder Qushteri 100MW wind power project is located in the Ulytau Region of Kazakhstan and is listed as one of the Key Projects of China-Kazakhstan Capacity and Investment Cooperation. The project is equipped with 16 wind turbines, each with a capacity of 6.25MW. The blades of each turbine measure 98.17 meters in length, equivalent to the height of a 30-story building, making them the longest blades in any ongoing wind power project in Central Asia.

These equipments embarked on their journey from the Horgos Port in Xinjiang, China, traversed the vast Kazakh steppes, and traveled thousands of kilometers to finally reach the project site in Zhezkazgan.

To ensure the safe transportation of these oversized and super-long components, UE’s project team and procurement department collaborated closely with logistics carriers to develop a detailed transportation plan and contingency strategies. They addressed multiple challenges, including heavy local traffic, diverse and complex road conditions, and adverse weather effects. Through mutual cooperation and scientific scheduling, all critical components of the wind turbines, including the blades, towers, hubs, and nacelles, were successfully transported.

With all large equipment now on-site, Mezgilder Qushteri 100MW wind power project has entered its peak phase of turbine installation. Once connected to the grid, the project is expected to generate 387 million kWh of electricity annually, reducing carbon emissions by 387,000 tons each year. This will significantly contribute to Kazakhstan's transition to low-carbon energy.
