AIIB vice-president and chief investment officer DJ Pandian said: “Our investment in the largest wind power plant in the region reflects AIIB’s support for the Government of Kazakhstan’s transition to a ‘green economy’ which will advance efforts to meet the country’s commitments under the Paris Agreement.”

The project will be built with a total investment of $136.2m. The remaining amount will be funded by sponsors China Power International Holding and Visor Investments Cooperative, as well as other financial institutions.

Once completed, the windfarm will contribute towards the development of renewable energy in Kazakhstan. The project is expected to generate approximately 319GHh clean energy while minimising carbon dioxide emissions by 260,623 tonnes per year.

With the construction of the new windfarm in the country, Kazakhstan aims to mobilise private capital to promote the use of renewable energy.
