In June 2020, Xinjiang Goldwind Science & Technology (Goldwind) – a leading global wind energy company was awarded the phase-II 100 MW wind power project in Zhanatas, Kazakhstan as the Top One in terms of technology, commerce and total scores in the fifth centralised bidding of China Power for the construction projects in 2020, and has recently entered into the Contract. This marks the firm’s formal entry in the Central Asian market.
