Renewable Energies
In Use
wind and hydropower
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.

Specific strategies (Biomass, renewable energies, rural electrification, energy access strategy etc.)
RE-Law from 2009: 5% of Kazakhstan’s energy balance must by renewable by 2024. The law also uses feed-in tariffs and renewable energy certificates to encourage renewable energy investment.
