    Construction of a Tier-3/4 Data Center for High-Performance Computing (HPC), AI clusters, or industrial mining.

    Technical Parameters & Infrastructure

    • Land Area: 2.9 hectares, with confirmed potential for future territorial expansion.
    • Energy Independence: The project is fully powered by proprietary gas-based generation (off-grid), eliminating exposure to public grid constraints and power shortages.

    Secured Gas Supply Specifications

    • Operating Pressure: 5.4 MPa
    • Methane Content: Minimum 91% (high-calorific natural gas)
    • Maximum Hourly Supply: 10,000 m³/hour
    • Daily Supply Capacity: 240,000 m³
    • Monthly Supply Capacity: 7.2 million m³
    • Annual Supply Capacity: 87.6 million m³

    Power Generation Capacity

    The secured gas supply of 10,000 m³ per hour supports the reliable generation of approximately 40 MW of electricity, based on an average consumption rate of 250 m³ of gas per MW for modern gas reciprocating generator systems.

    Existing On-Site Infrastructure

    The site benefits from established infrastructure, including:

    • Fiber-optic communication lines (FOCL)
    • Water supply systems
    • Auxiliary power supply
    • Prepared access roads

    Scalability & Expansion Potential

    The project offers significant scalability opportunities, supported by a clear development roadmap to increase gas supply limits and expand generation capacity to up to 100 MW through the development of adjacent sites.

    Key Investment Highlights

    • Exceptional Wind Resource: Average wind speed of 8.5 m/s, supporting strong energy yields
    • Total CAPEX: Approximately US$158 million
    • High Capacity Factor: Estimated at 49% (P50) and 44% (P75), reflecting robust project economics
    • Long-Term Revenue Visibility: Secured through a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) between the buyer and the Company
    • Preliminary Tariff: US$0.029/kWh expected in 2027
    • Attractive Returns: Projected return on equity (ROE) of up to 15%

    Strong Demand Fundamentals

    The Company is among Kazakhstan’s largest electricity producers and the country’s single largest electricity consumer, currently accounting for approximately 17% of national electricity generation. The Company’s ferroalloy operations are expected to serve as the primary off-taker for the project’s power output, ensuring a stable and predictable demand profile.

    Investment Opportunity

    An opportunity to invest in a strategically significant renewable energy project in Kazakhstan, combining premium wind resources, long-term contracted revenues, strong industrial off-take, and attractive risk-adjusted returns.

    Electricity Generation Cost

    • Total Electricity Generated: 28.8 million kWh per month
    • Final Cost per kWh: 12.75 KZT (~US$0.028/kWh)

    This cost structure positions the project among the most cost-competitive locations globally for energy-intensive computing applications, including AI, HPC, and cryptocurrency mining.
