4 Kazakhstan's vast and cost-efficient wind energy potential offers a particularly strong foundation for scaling up renewable energy capacity. The country could increase its wind power capacity to 10 gigawatts by 2035, twice as much as the government is currently planning – or even more.
By increasing the share of renewables to 35 percent by 2035, Kazakhstan could reduce power sector emissions by 4 percent compared to 2023 while lowering system costs by 40 percent compared to current plans.
“Collaboration with Envision Energy and Kazakhstan Utility Systems presents Kazakhstan with unique opportunities to advance renewable energy development and localize high-tech production,” said Sabyrgali Idrisov, chief executive officer of Kazakhstan Utility Systems.
Introducing a carbon price of at least USD 30 per tonne of CO2 is required to trigger investment in renewables and reduce power sector emissions. This exercise marks our first effort to model power system in Kazakhstan. While the current model has several limitations, it serves as a foundation that will be further refined and expanded.
