Envision Energy to Supply Turbines for Kazakhstan’s 1 GW Mirny Wind Farm
Envision Energy has signed a Letter of Award to deliver 124 advanced 6.5 MW wind turbines for Kazakhstan’s first large-scale renewable energy project, the 1 GW Mirny Wind Farm. Announced at Kazakhstan Energy Week in Astana, the collaboration brings together TotalEnergies, Samruk-Energo, and KazMunayGas through their joint venture Aktas Energy. Expected to generate 4 billion kWh annually, the project will power over one million households and prevent 3.5 million tons of CO₂ emissions each year. With the addition of a 300 MW / 600 MWh battery energy storage system, Mirny will strengthen grid reliability and support Kazakhstan’s target of carbon neutrality by 2060. Turbine deliveries are set to begin in 2026, marking a major step in the country’s renewable energy transition.
