Kazakhstan has huge potential for renewable energy, in particular in wind. Since the renewable sector is almost untapped and the government of Kazakhstan is actively working on promoting renewable energy sources and starting new programs to reach the renewable energy target of 5 percent by 2024, this presents an opportunity for many new projects.
About 50% of Kazakhstan’s territory has average wind speeds about 4-5 m/sec at a height of 30m which is perfect for wind energy development. In some estimates the wind potential of Kazakhstan forms about 1820 billion KW/h per year. Kazakhstan Wind Energy Summit will focus on local regulations, investment opportunities and advanced technology solutions.
