Kazakhstan Renewable Energy
Renewable energy consumption as % of total EG.FEC.RNEW.ZS
Kazakhstan's renewable energy was 2.00% in 2021, ranked 177th globally. This represents a 11.1% increase from 2020. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2021.
Overview
Kazakhstan's renewable energy stood at 2.00% in 2021, a rise of +0.20% from 2020. Kazakhstan ranked 177th globally.
Kazakhstan’s share of renewable energy in total final energy consumption stood at 2.00 percent in 2021, placing it 177th in the world according to World Bank data. The indicator has fluctuated over the 32‑year record, rising from 1.40 percent in 1990 to an all‑time high of 2.80 percent in 2002 before slipping to a trough of 1.10 percent in 2008, after which it has gradually recovered. Compared with peers of similar rank, Kazakhstan’s 2021 figure exceeds Tonga’s 1.80 percent but trails Puerto Rico’s 2.60 percent, suggesting modest progress relative to small island economies that have leveraged renewable sources for energy security. The post‑2008 rebound reflects policy incentives and expanding wind and solar projects, yet the modest 2021 level indicates considerable room for growth. Continued investment in grid integration and financing mechanisms could accelerate the upward trajectory, potentially lifting Kazakhstan’s renewable share toward the regional median in the coming decade.
