Kazakhstan has remarkable solar potential with a very well-designed auction system, a clear renewable capacity addition schedule, and a solid decarbonisation target. The country is now also including storage systems as part of its public procurement strategy in a move that will ease further integration of renewables into the grid.

The publisher''s Kazakhstan Solar Power Market Outlook report consolidate the developments and build a perspective on growth from the point of view of the solar sector, in its current and future role. The report provides a comprehensive analysis of the historical development, the current state of solar power installation scenario, and its outlook.
Auctions were held on September 23, 2024, to select renewable energy projects for the construction of a 100 MW solar power plant in the Southern Zone of Kazakhstan''s Unified Electric Power System, KOREM reports. The Ministry of Energy of Kazakhstan set the maximum auction price at 34.61 tenge per kWh (excluding VAT).

This report provides an overview of the country''s business environment, major macroeconomic and demographic trends. It also analyses issues related to credit and political risks. The report highlights Kazakhstan''s energy context, key stakeholders, and the regulatory framework relevant for solar investors interested in the Kazakhstani market.
Seven bidders submitted offers ranging from KZT34.61 to KZT15.93 per kWh. The winning bid came from Damona, which plans to build a 100-MW solar power plant in Qonaev, located in the Ili district of the Almaty region, on a 200-hectare site. The electricity sale price will be KZT15.93 per kWh, 54% lower than the starting price.
This report builds on the first edition of solar investment opportunities in Kazakhstan and provides the latest economic and political advancements in the country, including the announcement of Kazakhstan''s new decarbonisation target for 2060, and the recent Memorandum of Understanding signed between the EU and Kazakhstan, stepping up

Kazakhstan electricity and power market operator JSC Korem has allocated 20 MW of PV capacity in a solar energy auction finalized this month. JSC Korem received 14 project proposals with a combined capacity of 60 MW in the procurement exercise and prices ranged from KZT16,96 ($0.0392) to KZT12,87 ($0.0297)/kWh.
The Kazakh authorities allocated 20 MW of PV capacity in the procurement exercise and said another 20 MW solar auction will be held next year. Kazakhstan has currently an installed PV capacity of over 1.7 GW.

Back in 2015, Astana was predicting installed solar capacity by the end of 2020 to reach 714 MW. A government report last month said solar capacity had reached 467 MW. Indeed, renewables are still small fry in Kazakhstan. Today solar accounts for 56 percent of the country’s total renewable capacity.
In the first solar auction, held in 2018, JSC Korem selected four PV projects totaling 170 MW and the lowest bid was KZT18.6/kWh. In a second, 50 MW procurement exercise held a year later, the total allocated power was 50 MW and the lowest price was KZT 12.49.
However, Kazakhstan’s solar ambitions do not fully tap into its potential, and the technology could play a far larger role in the country’s energy transition due to its low cost and flexibility. The focus now is on leveraging solar’s comparative advantages to drive forward Kazakhstan’s decarbonisation and harness its significant solar resources.
