Kazakhstan becoming the biggest renewable energy player in Central Asia

Euroconvention Global is inviting up to 150 renewable energy projects developers, engineering, consulting, legal, financial institutions and advisory services companies to attend the Kazakhstan Power & Renewable Energy Investment Conference scheduled to take place in Astana on 20 and 21 April 2016.

Insight into the Kazakhstan alternative energy sector potential

Kazakhstan will launch over 100 renewable energy facilities by 2020. Renewable and alternative energy sources will provide 50 % of all electricity produced in Kazakhstan by 2050. The country plans to spend - along with local and international investors - an average $3.2 billion a year to achieve its green goals by 2050 and to cut significantly carbon emissions.

As one of the most attractive markets for renewable energy, Kazakhstan is actively developing its legislation in this field. It was the first country in Central Asia, where the feed-in tariffs for renewable energy facilities were adopted. The first solar power plant in Kazakhstan is already in operation, and the country is now attracting many international market operators. About 28 solar energy projects are planned to start operation until the end of 2020.

The wind power market in Kazakhstan is also expected to grow fast in the period 2016 - 2025. The number of fully permitted and ready to build projects will increase in 2016 and in the forthcoming years. Feed-in tariff for wind energy has been approved in Kazakhstan in June 2014 and the first megawatt size wind power plants have been launched into commercial operation. Numerous wind projects are currently progressing in different stages of the permitting process.

The hydroelectric plant development is part of the government's effort to increase its overall alternative sources before 2020. The construction of small hydropower plants in Kazakhstan is expedient as the country's rivers enjoy significant hydropower capacity. Geothermal power sources and biomass potential becomes also further developed in the new energy mix of the country.
