At the heart of this endeavor is a comprehensive energy subsidy reform package, driven by a partnership between the Government of Kazakhstan and the World Bank, working closely with the private sector.
According to the Strategic development plan of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Concept of transition to a ‘green economy’, about 28 solar power plants are planned to be put into operation by the end of 2020.
Kazakhstan's energy sector has long been dependent on fossil fuels, and the country now faces the challenge of phasing out inefficient subsidies and modernizing its energy infrastructure.
Kazakhstan has remarkable solar potential with a very well-designed auction system, a clear renewable capacity addition schedule, and a solid decarbonisation target. The country is now also including storage systems as part of its public procurement strategy in a move that will ease further integration of renewables into the grid.
However, Kazakhstan’s solar ambitions do not fully tap into its potential, and the technology could play a far larger role in the country’s energy transition due to its low cost and flexibility. The focus now is on leveraging solar’s comparative advantages to drive forward Kazakhstan’s decarbonisation and harness its significant solar resources.
This update contains the latest economic and political advancements in the country, including the announcement of Kazakhstan’s new decarbonisation target for 2060, and the recent Memorandum of Understanding signed between the EU and Kazakhstan, stepping up cooperation on renewables, green hydrogen, and battery value chains.
