This market report offers an incisive and reliable long-term overview of the photovoltaic sector of the country for the period 2017 ÷ 2026. Because of recent cuts in FIT’s announced in Germany, Spain, France, UK, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Greece and Italy, the Republic of Kazakhstan represents a stable investment environment in the CIS region with clear rules, feed-in tariff support scheme and auction (tender) procedure. The country's current cumulative installed PV capacity is insignificant, but the number of fully permitted and ready to build projects will promptly increase in 2018 and next years.
First MW scale photovoltaic power plants have been launched into commercial operation, whilst pipeline of over 700 MW solar projects pipeline is progressing in different permitting process stages. Feed-in tariff for solar energy was approved in Kazakhstan in June 2014, and combined with 15 years PPA period auction (tender) procedure are expected to pave the way for the fast further growth of the solar PV market in Kazakhstan. The report provides a complete picture of the market situation, dynamics, current issues and prospects.
