First Turbine of Mezgilder Qushteri 100MW Wind Power in Kazakhstan Connected to Grid

Recently, the first turbine of Universal Energy’s Mezgilder Qushteri 100MW Wind Power in the Ulytau Region of Kazakhstan was successfully connected to the grid, marking a major milestone for the region's first wind power.

Mezgilder Qushteri 100MW Wind Power is included in the "Key Projects of China-Kazakhstan Production Capacity and Investment Cooperation" list. It comprises 16 wind turbines with a unit capacity of 6.25MW, making them the largest-capacity wind turbines in Kazakhstan to date.

Located in central Kazakhstan's Ulytau Region, the project site features hilly terrain, with winter temperatures dropping as low as -40°C and summer temperatures historically reaching 45°C, leaving only a six-month annual construction. Facing extreme environmental and construction challenges, Universal Energy leveraged its years of experience in executing renewable energy projects in Kazakhstan and localized resources to advance the project efficiently.

The project is expected to achieve full-capacity grid connection by May. Once operational, it is projected to generate 387 million kWh of electricity annually, reducing local carbon emissions by 387,000 tons per year.
