The project title: “Construction of 50 MW wind power plant in the vicinity of Ereymentau city”.
The project implementation goal: The project addresses one of production tasks of “Samruk-Energy” JSC - minimization of adverse environmental impact through the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The issue of implementing such projects is among the priorities for meeting international commitments of the Republic of Kazakhstan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, to which the Republic of Kazakhstan has been a party since 1997. The implementation of the Project is in line with the mission and main strategic goals of “Samruk-Energy” JSC:
- Reliable and high-quality supply of electricity produced using renewable energy sources;
- Design and construction of facilities for the use of renewable energy sources;
- Production and sale of electrical energy using renewable energy sources.
The project description: The selected site near Ereymentau city fits for the construction of a wind power plant because of good wind potential with an average speed of 8.5 m/s. Possibility of connecting to power grids for output of WPP power has been agreed.
Implementation period: 2011-2022
Status: Currently, the works on the construction of access and on-site roads, setting of installation sites for wind turbines (wind turbine foundations), on the reconstruction of existing power lines and laying of 35 kV cable lines, on the construction of SS-220 / 35 kV (CR, CCR, SCP buildings have been built) are underway.
Planned events:
- Supply and installation of wind turbines, completion of construction and installation works for SS-220/35kV and overhead lines 220kV.
- Commissioning – 4th quarter of 2022.
