The China-Kazakhstan cooperation project, the 300 MW photovoltaic power station in Turkestan Region, enters its main construction phase
According to Kazak International News Agency, a groundbreaking ceremony for the first pile foundation pouring of the 300 MW integrated photovoltaic energy storage project (solar power station and energy storage system) was recently held in Turkestan Region, marking the official start of the project's main construction phase.
According to news from the Turkestan Regional Government’s press office, this project is one of the key energy initiatives under the China-Kazakhstan strategic cooperation framework.
It is reported that the project's cornerstone ceremony was held last December. Since then, preliminary works such as land leveling have been completed, and facilities including the solar power station office area, dormitories, and warehouse buildings have been constructed. On the day of the ceremony, core equipment installation work officially commenced.
The 300 MW photovoltaic energy storage project has an estimated total investment of approximately $307 million. It is the first project initiated following the signing of a government-to-government framework agreement between China and Kazakhstan after the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit.
During the construction period, the project is expected to create around 500 jobs and bring new momentum to regional economic and industrial development.
According to planning, once operational, the project is expected to generate about 674 million kWh of clean electricity annually.
The local government stated that the project will not only help optimize the regional energy structure but also further increase Kazakhstan’s share of green energy within the national energy system.
The solar power station is scheduled to begin full operation in 2027.
