Kazakhstan’s total installed renewables capacity exceeded 3.7 GW by the second quarter of this year. The country is planning to commission 245 MW of renewables, including five solar projects, during 2026.
Kazakhstan’s installed solar PV capacity reached approximately 1,375.21 MW by the second quarter of this year (Q2 2026), according to data published by the country’s Ministry of Energy.
The figure equates to 52 operational solar power plants across Kazakhstan larger than 200 kW. As of Q2 2026, there were 169 operational renewable energy facilities larger than 200 kW in the country, consisting of solar, wind, hydroelectric and biogas power plants. Together, they have a cumulative capacity of 3,749.62 MW.
A ministry update released today (August 3) says renewables generated 8.6 billion kWh of electricity by the end of 2025, accounting for 7% of the country’s total production. This means renewable energy generation increased more than 1.7-fold compared to 2022 levels, exceeding a presidential directive to increase renewable generation by 1.5 times.
“These results were achieved through a consistent state policy aimed at developing green energy,” the ministry said. “Key growth drivers included holding auctions to select renewable energy projects, attracting investment to the sector, and commissioning new renewable energy facilities.”
