Potentials[8]

Wind energy: Kazakhstan has enormous wind resources but only a small part of the wind potential is used; 500kv out of a potential of 1.3 trillion kWh of electric energy per year at the Jungar Gates.

Despite the very favourable conditions for solar energy, there is little use of the resource.
