Kazakhstan is set to strengthen its green energy sector after the Senate, the country’s upper parliamentary chamber, ratified a bilateral agreement with China on joint renewable energy projects, announced Maxim Spotkay, Head of the Senate Administration, via social media.

The deal establishes a legal framework to support large-scale renewable energy initiatives across Kazakhstan and enhances cooperation between the two countries in addressing climate change.

Key components of the agreement include measures to reduce annual carbon dioxide emissions, increase electricity production from renewable sources, and implement energy storage systems. It also outlines a process for negotiating power purchase agreements, including pricing and tariff terms.
The agreement emphasizes the participation of Kazakh suppliers, boosting local industry and contributing to national economic growth.

Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Energy reported that electricity generated from renewable sources reached 8.621 billion kWh in 2025, marking a 13.7% increase compared to 2024.

Renewable energy now represents 7% of the country’s total electricity output.
