Dzhankeldy Wind Power Project

ACWA Power: At the end of 2021. 
Committee for the Development of Sericulture and Wool Industry: This means we have plenty of 
time to solve the lease agreement. You expect to sign the agreements by the end of the year 
right? 
ACWA Power: No, we plan to proceed with the lease agreements as soon as we finalise the 
Project layouts. Within two months we aim to finalise the layouts and discuss with the relevant 
national organisations. 
Committee for the Development of Sericulture and Wool Industry: We have completed the draft 
of Presidential Decree that empowers the Committee to regulate land issues allocated to the 
Committee by the State. I assume that this will be signed within two months after which we can 
sign lease agreements directly between the Committee and ACWA Power. 
ACWA Power: Understood. 
Pasture Development Association: We would like you to refer to us or inform us whenever you 
need to conduct surveys with the herders or discuss about the land issue. We could allocate a 
representative to assist your team to obtain the required information and we will remain informed 
about the Project status.
