Experts discussed barriers to renewable energy projects in Kazakhstan

On March 4 of the current year, a meeting was held in Astana with representatives of the renewable energy sector, organized by the Renewable Energy Association "Qazaq Green" with the support of the global project GIZ "Capacity Development for Climate Policy in South-Eastern Europe, Southern Caucasus and Central Asia" (CDCP).

The discussion involved representatives of state bodies, industrial enterprises of Kazakhstan, and investors in the renewable energy sector.

"Today's roundtable is being held with the support of the GIZ project in the field of renewable energy and the development of a strategy for achieving carbon neutrality by Kazakhstan. We are grateful to the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) for the close attention paid to our renewable energy sector. Together with the "Qazaq Green" Association, this is the second event dedicated to the problems of manufacturers, both domestic and global brands. This is because Kazakhstan is a member of the World Trade Organization, where market relations are valued and a non-discriminatory approach to all manufacturers is welcomed, regardless of their origin," said Nurlan Kapenov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Renewable Energy Association "Qazaq Green."

The event showcased the achievements and new technical solutions of renewable energy sector suppliers, with companies such as Photomate, LONGi Solar, "Maiami Solar" LLP, Umai R&D, "Profland-RT" LLP, and others participating.

In addition to the local content in renewable energy projects, roundtable participants discussed the existing problems and barriers for suppliers participating in renewable energy projects implementation in Kazakhstan.
