Kazakhstan more than multiplies renewable energy output over ten years

Kazakhstan increased its electricity generation from renewable energy sources by more than 16 times over the last decade. The Bureau of National Statistics reported that these sources reached 8.7 billion kilowatt-hours in 2025, excluding large hydropower plants.

Renewable energy now provides 14.5% of the country's total electricity generation when large hydropower plants are included. This figure rose from 10.4% in 2015.

When excluding those large hydropower plants, the share of renewable energy grew from 0.6% in 2015 to 7% in 2025. The total output from renewable sources including large hydropower rose from 9.5 billion kilowatt-hours in 2015 to 17.9 billion kilowatt-hours in 2025. This growth reflects a steady expansion of the country's green energy infrastructure over the ten year period.
