In 2019, another solar power plant in Kazakhstan, Saran, with a capacity of 100 MW started its operation in the Karaganda region (Satubaldina, 2020). According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), within the period of 40 years, solar energy has a potential to meet about 20-25% of the energy demand of the country.
At least 50% of the territory of Kazakhstan is suitable for installing solar power plants (Antonov, 2014). However, up until recently, solar resources of the country were not being used for power generation. Kazakhstan is developing solar energy technologies, namely production of photovoltaic modules using local silicon.
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.
As Kazakhstan is rich in silicon (85 million tons), production of silicon solar batteries on the domestic market was started (Sim, 2015). In this light, recently “Astana Solar” plant aimed at the production of photovoltaic modules was launched in Nur-Sultan. The plant is to produce solar cells using Kazakhstan's silicon.
Currently, solar power plants produce 697 MW, which is half of the renewable energy production in Kazakhstan. Solar power has a great potential as a renewable energy resource due to sparsely
