@Source: trend.az
ASTANA, Kazakhstan, May 23. By 2030, Kazakhstan
plans to commission 93 renewable energy (RE) projects with a total
capacity of 2.3 GW, said Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov during a
meeting of the Energy Council on the development of renewables,
Trend reports.
The Action Plan for the Development of the Electric Power
Industry until 2035 provides for the commissioning of at least 8.4
GW of renewable energy.
According to the Ministry of Energy, there are currently 154
operational renewable energy facilities in the country with a
combined installed capacity of over 3 GW - including wind, solar,
hydro, and biogas power plants.
In 2024, renewable energy generation amounted to 7.6 billion
kWh. For 2025, the launch of nine renewable energy facilities with
a total capacity exceeding 450 MWh is planned.
At the same time, according to a report by Deputy Energy
Minister Sungat Yessimkhanov, the development indicators for
"green" energy have exceeded the set targets. While the goal for
2020 was for renewables to account for 3 percent of total
electricity generation, by the end of 2024 this figure reached 6.4
percent. Thus, the interim targets outlined in the Concept for
Transition to a Green Economy have been met.
The Prime Minister was briefed on the current state and
development prospects of each area of renewable energy, including
wind, solar, hydro, and biogas. Attention was given to attracting
strategic international investors for the implementation of
large-scale projects.
"The renewable energy sector in Kazakhstan is steadily
developing and is actively supported by the state. Current support
measures include guaranteed electricity purchase at auction prices,
annual indexation, exemption from grid fees, and investment
incentives. These measures help create a favorable investment
climate, promote new projects, and ensure the steady growth of
green energy’s share in the overall energy balance," Bektenov
Following the meeting, the Prime Minister instructed that
support for renewable energy projects be strengthened. He
emphasized the need for a scientific approach to their
implementation and development. The importance of a transparent and
predictable tariff policy was highlighted, along with the creation
of conditions for broader private sector participation in the
construction and operation of renewable energy facilities. Bektenov
also stressed the inadmissibility of administrative barriers that
hinder investor entry and the implementation of initiatives.
