Envision Energy has signed a strategic agreement with Samruk Energy and Kazakhstan Utility Systems to establish a localized manufacturing facility for wind turbines and energy storage systems in Kazakhstan. The agreement aims to enhance Kazakhstan’s renewable energy capacity and drive local economic development to accelerate the country’s transition to a green economy.

Envision Energy will provide advanced technical support to Kazakhstan, particularly in the design, manufacturing, and operation of smart wind turbines and energy storage systems. By localizing the production of wind turbines and energy storage systems, the project will better meet Kazakhstan’s domestic market demand and significantly reduce transportation costs and minimize environmental burdens within the supply chain, according to Envision Energy. The project will enable Kazakhstan to stabilize its energy supply and reduce its reliance on external energy imports, thereby enhancing national energy security and supporting the achievement of its sustainable energy goals.

“We are excited to partner with Samruk Energy and Kazakhstan Utility Systems on this pioneering initiative,” said Kane Xu, senior vice president and president of international product lines at Envision Energy. “The project marks a significant step in Kazakhstan’s green transformation and aligns perfectly with our commitment to fostering sustainable energy solutions worldwide. Leveraging our cutting-edge industry expertise, Envision will support Kazakhstan in reducing carbon emissions, advancing clean energy, and attracting greater international capital and technology. This initiative will significantly advance the localization of wind turbine and energy storage system production, driving Kazakhstan’s transition to a sustainable energy future while fostering economic growth and innovation.”

“Collaboration with Envision Energy and Kazakhstan Utility Systems presents Kazakhstan with unique opportunities to advance renewable energy development and localize high-tech production,” said Sabyrgali Idrisov, chief executive officer of Kazakhstan Utility Systems. “This is not just a step toward energy independence but also a catalyst for creating new jobs, enhancing the skills of local specialists, and strengthening our role in the global green transition. We are proud to be part of this important project, which will make a significant contribution to the sustainable development of our country.”

Envision Energy develops smart wind power, energy storage systems, and green hydrogen solutions that address the challenges of climate change. According to Envision Energy, its intelligent wind turbines enhance efficiency and reduce power generation costs through advanced sensors and innovation. Envision Energy offers full-stack capabilities, end-to-end lifecycle management, and a systematic grid-forming solution.

The Kazakhstan announcement comes shortly after Envision Energy senior vice president and president of the company’s international business product line, Kane Xu, spoke at the 29th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in Baku, Azerbaijan.

At the panel The Great Wind Re-set: Getting Wind Energy Back on Track for a 1.5°C World, organized by the Global Wind Energy Council, Kane highlighted that technological innovation was the key to accelerating the clean energy transition. The 2.7°F (1.5°C) target, proposed by the International Renewable Energy Agency in 2023, advocates for a tripling of global renewable energy capacity by 2030 to limit global warming within the target. However, according to GWEC, achieving the target of 2.7 TW of installed wind capacity by 2030 will be challenging due to the current slowdown in global wind power growth.

Kane emphasized that continuous innovation in renewable energy technologies is key to reaching this goal. This includes making wind turbine designs more modular to address transportation challenges posed by larger turbines, ensuring that turbine raw materials are more environmentally friendly, improving the efficiency of renewable energy generation, and ensuring grid stability and security when integrating renewable energy at large scale — all of which are achievable through technological innovation.

“To build global support for wind energy’s mission, we must unite innovation, policy, and people—driving equitable access to clean power, fostering cross-border collaboration, and ensuring every turbine turns for both progress and the planet, all while tackling the global climate crisis and addressing the challenges of energy transition,” said Kane.

Additionally, Kane attended panel Driving Sustainable Water and Energy Transitions, where he shared his insight on how innovations in wind energy and energy storage are already paving the way for enhancing renewable energy efficiency, reducing carbon emissions from desalination, and driving a sustainable global transition. He emphasized Envision Energy’s commitment to contributing to the global green transition by offering innovative solutions in wind turbines, energy storage, and green hydrogen, all aimed at the mission to solve challenges for a sustainable future.

Envision Energy has set targets to meet the 1.5°C temperature reduction goal and achieve net-zero emissions by 2040 in accordance with the Science Based Target Initiative’s Business Net-Zero Standard.
