The Kazakhstan renewable energy market is expected to register a CAGR of around 3% during the forecast period, 2021-2028.The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing number of government initiatives to increase the share of renewable energy in the power generation mix. which is expected to drive the market studied.
Kazakhstan has adopted the “National Concept for Transition to a Green Economy up to 2050” that outlines the principles of the green economy for the sustainable future. The objective was to increase the share of renewable energy in electricity generation from zero to 3% by 2020, and then to raise it further to 30% by 2030 and 50% by 2050. Moreover, the country has a plan of reducing its carbon emissions by around 15-25% by 2030, compared with its 1990 level.
Kazakhstan’s power sector relies heavily on fossil fuel, with 75% of the power plants powered by locally sourced coal. Rapid economic growth has led to the increase in the demand for electricity. However, the country has some constraint with its aging generation and transmission infrastructure dating back to the Soviet-era. The country has enormous renewable energy potential, particularly from wind and hydropower plants. Increasing wind capacity is expected to grow the investment to USD 276 million until 2021.

Based on types, the market is segregated into hydropower, wind, solar, and others. The wind segment is projected to account for a major market share and is expected to grow at a healthy growth rate during the forecast period. Increasing government investment is driving the growth of the market segment. For instance, in December 2019, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) approved a loan of USD 46.7 million loans for the construction and operation of a 100-megawatt (MW) wind power plant in southern Kazakhstan, which upon completion would be the largest wind power plant in Central Asia. The project is estimated to generate nearly 319 GW hours of electricity.
The hydropower segment is expected to expand at a rapid pace during the forecasted period. Hydropower is a reliable, cost-effective, and sustainable natural energy source that requires kinetic energy of the flowing water to generate electricity. It is one of the cleanest forms of energy source, which has dominated the Kazakhstan renewable energy market, with an installed capacity of around 2.7 GW.
The solar segment is anticipated to exhibit a high CAGR during the forecast period. Declining cost of semiconductor in the global market and rapid industrialization in the country are expected to spur the growth of the market segment. Moreover, government incentives and low cost of the solar energy renewable system due to technological advancements are expected to drive the segment growth.
