There is enormous potential for renewable energy in Kazakhstan, particularly from wind and small hydropower plants. The Republic of Kazakhstan has the potential to generate 10 times as much power as it currently needs from wind energy alone.

The main barriers to investment in renewable energy are relatively high financing costs and an absence of uniform feed-in tariffs for electricity
