Eurasian Resources Group (ERG) has begun generating green electricity at its new wind farm in Chromtau, Kazakhstan. The two turbines, the most powerful in the country at 6.25 MW each, mark a significant step in ERG’s decarbonisation strategy.
This $142 million project will eventually include a 150 MW wind farm powering ERG’s Donskoy GOK ferrochrome plant with 460 million kWh of green electricity annually. This will reduce CO2 emissions by 440,000 tons and prevent the release of over 4,000 tons of other pollutants.
ERG CEO Shukhrat Ibragimov highlighted the project’s alignment with Kazakhstan’s commitment to carbon neutrality by 2060. He emphasized the company’s dedication to ESG principles and the modernization of Kazakhstan’s industry.
ERG is also involved in plans for a 200 MW wind farm near Ekibastuz in partnership with Chinese and Kazakh companies, with construction potentially completed by the end of 2026.
