Azizi Group, a prominent Dubai-based conglomerate, has officially launched Azizi Energy Investments LLC to spearhead global development in power generation and energy infrastructure. Initially targeting Afghanistan with coal, gas, hydro, wind, and solar projects, the new arm signals the group’s diversification into energy markets and aims to help close the power deficit in emerging economies.
Operating from its Dubai headquarters, Azizi Energy will handle the financing, construction, and operation of a range of energy assets from gas pipelines to electricity transmission networks. “The launch of Azizi Energy reflects our continued push to diversify and grow across high‑impact industries… to contribute a generation mix of approximately 10,000 MW – delivering power and enabling prosperity for the Afghan people,” said Mirwais Azizi, Founder and Chairman of Azizi Group in a statement.
This ambitious venture is led by industry veteran Korkut Öztürkmen, who brings over three decades of experience in conventional and renewable energy across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Under his leadership, Azizi Energy plans to leverage advanced technologies and international expertise to ensure sustainable, reliable power in underserved regions.
Azizi Energy’s first targets include developing solar and hydro plants, alongside traditional infrastructure projects, with a strong emphasis on compliance with global standards and long-term community impact. This marks a significant expansion of Azizi Group’s footprint beyond real estate, banking, and hospitality, underlining its vision to support communities through large-scale, future-oriented solutions.
