- Kazakhstan climbs to 24th in global clean energy rankings, driven by stronger policy support, competitive auctions, and rising renewable energy investment.
- The country accelerates its energy transition with plans for 8 GW of renewables by 2035, attracting major international investors and strengthening long-term energy security.
Kazakhstan has strengthened its position as a leading destination for clean energy investment, rising from 54th place in 2017 to 24th in 2025 in the Climatescope ranking of emerging markets. The ranking evaluates countries based on investment levels, policy frameworks, infrastructure, and market opportunities.
Kazakhstan achieved this improvement through consistent renewable energy reforms. The government introduced competitive auctions and guaranteed purchase agreements for green power. As a result, these policies increased investor confidence and accelerated clean energy deployment.
In addition, major international energy companies expanded their presence in the country. Investors such as TotalEnergies, Masdar, China Power, and China Energy contributed to the growing clean energy pipeline.
Kazakhstan now plans to commission more than 8 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity by 2035. This expansion will diversify the national energy mix and improve grid stability while supporting long-term sustainability goals.
Furthermore, the upcoming Regional Ecological Summit (RES), scheduled for April 22–24, will focus on energy transition across Central Asia. The summit will highlight renewable energy as a key driver of energy security and carbon neutrality across the region.
