Title Fate of Renewable Energy objects in Kazakhstan in new reality
Summary Kazakhstan is the first CIS country introduced a policy of Renewable Energy development. It is challenging for a natural resource country. However, the government considers Renewable Energy projects as the instrument to reduce carbon emissions and set the goals to reach carbon neutrality by 2060. To achieve this goal, the Ministry passed relevant laws to attract RES investors and stimulate the local development of the RES industry. However, there are obstacles to developing a non-traditional energy resource generation industry in the energy system, gaps in the law, and population mindset. Moreover, the war in Ukraine put the country in a geopolitical crisis, creating additional problems for RES production. In this study, the author explores the development of renewable energy projects in Kazakhstan, considering the existing limitations. Such projects are important for national and international energy and climate policy and are worthwhile areas of attention for future research.
