Poland sees significant potential in developing partnerships with Kazakhstan’s energy sector. The primary focus is on the energy transition and the deployment of clean technologies. This was stated by Julia Horodecka, Head of the Polish Investment and Trade Agency (PAIH) office in Astana. According to her, the interest of Polish business in the region was confirmed by the business forum held on April 9. The forum featured a large delegation of companies, and it included winners of the “GreenEvo” accelerator programme.
Cooperation is centred on the modernisation of energy infrastructure, energy efficiency and storage solutions, as well as renewable energy projects. These mainly focus on wind and solar power. Additionally, the green tech sector—encompassing waste and water management—is a rapidly growing area of collaboration. These industries are becoming crucial components of Kazakhstan’s broader environmental and energy transformation.
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev has officially inaugurated the 220/110/10 kV Yeni Sangachal substation, marking a major milestone in integrating renewable energy generation with the country's national grid and strategic oil and gas assets.
The project represents a shift in national energy strategy, moving from isolated decarbonization efforts toward a unified grid framework designed to increase system efficiency, boost natural gas export capacity, and secure long-term energy sustainability.
Kyrgyzstan's Ministry of Energy is actively backing domestic solar installations, according to Energy Minister Altynbek Rysbekov, as reported by 24.kg.
Under current policy guidelines, residential households can deploy rooftop solar panels with generating capacities up to 15 kW. Installations operating under this limit are fully exempt from licensing requirements when feed-in surplus power is transferred back into the national grid.
Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (Masdar) has officially commenced construction on a landmark 1-gigawatt (GW) wind farm in Kazakhstan's southern Zhambyl region, marking the company’s inaugural renewable energy asset in the country.
The $1.4 billion development ranks as one of the largest integrated wind generation and battery storage installations in Central Asia. To mitigate the intermittency of wind generation and secure immediate grid stabilization, the installation will couple its 1 GW wind capacity with a high-capacity 600-megawatt-hour (MWh) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS).
