The new venture signifies Azizi Group’s entry into the energy sector, with initial projects aimed at Asia, particularly Afghanistan.

Headquartered in Dubai, Azizi Energy will engage in the development, financing, construction, and operation of various power projects, including those based on coal, gas, hydro, wind, and solar energy. The company will also work on essential energy infrastructure such as gas pipelines and electricity transmission networks.

The Emirati developer stated that Azizi Energy aims to meet the increasing global demand for reliable and sustainable power by integrating advanced technologies with international expertise. The entity’s mission is to enhance energy security, reduce dependence on imported energy supplies, and bolster economic development in regions facing significant supply challenges.

In discussing the new venture, Founder and Chairman Mirwais Azizi emphasized that the launch reflects the company’s ongoing efforts to diversify and expand into high-impact industries. He noted that this initiative builds upon their legacy in real estate and a commitment to supporting communities through large-scale, forward-looking solutions.

Azizi further indicated that Azizi Energy is set to deliver innovative energy projects that create lasting value, beginning in Afghanistan, where they aim to achieve a generation mix of approximately 10 000 MW, thus providing power and fostering prosperity for the Afghan people.

The new entity will be led by Korkut Öztürkmen, a seasoned executive with over 30 years of experience in the global energy industry. Öztürkmen has held senior positions in both conventional and renewable energy sectors, focusing on international project development and corporate strategy across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
