Kazakhstan
More than 70 percent of Kazakhstan’s electricity comes from aging coal-fired power plants that are powered by large quantities of cheap local coal in the country’s northeast. The production of electricity and heat accounts for 80 percent of the country’s carbon emissions. Renewable energy sources therefore are an important aspect of social and economic development of the country.

Kazakhstan’s Renewable Energy Outlook
In 2013, Kazakhstan implemented a policy to transition the country to a green economy by 2050. The goal is to increase the share of renewable energy sources in the production of electricity from 0% to 3% by 2020, 30% by 2030 , and 50% by 2050.
The potential of solar energy in Kazakhstan is estimated to be 3.9 to 5.4 TWh, or about 5% of the country’s annual power consumption. Although high solar radiation is present in most regions, most solar sources tend to gravitate towards the south; Burnoye near Shymkent is an example.
Sale of Green Energy To The Government
As an initiative in supporting the users of renewable energy, a policy based on the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan (2009) was adopted. The highlight of this policy is that the owner of a solar power system benefits from being able to trade/sell excess energy generated back to the government up to a maximum of 100kWh at a 1 for 1 tariff.
