6 FAQs about [Solar power generation in five Central Asian countries]

How much solar power do Asian countries need?

In 2010, solar accounted for only 0.3% of its energy mix. According to both the IPCC and the IEA, to keep climate change below 1.5 degrees of warming, Asian countries should aim to power at least 40% of their electricity grids from wind and solar by 2030.

Will the energy transition take place in Central Asia?

There are no indications that the energy transition in the countries of Central Asia will take place according to the standards of the European Union or global bodies. On the other hand, having in mind the natural resources of the mentioned countries and the specific geopolitical position, monitoring the changes is of special importance.

How can Central Asian countries achieve a higher level of energy security?

Addressing these barriers will help Central Asian countries reach a higher level of energy security, through diversification of sources, provision of access to a greater number of people, and greening of the energy supply. Table 3. Barriers to renewable energy in Central Asia. Continued support of fossil fuels for domestic supply and exports.

Is solar growth possible in Asia?

Asia’s solar growth has been under the radar. The region actually has been doing quite well, with 5 countries now joining the world’s top 10. Japan’s increase in the share of solar shows that, with a clear and focused vision, quickly expanding renewables is entirely possible in Japan. This will hopefully be just the beginning.

Which country has the highest solar potential?

Solar The highest solar potential is estimated for Kazakhstan with 3,760,000 MW of solar PV (UNIDO and ICSHP, 2016). An estimate by the Central Asia Data Gathering and Analysis Team (CADGAT) is 6684 TWh/year (Eshchanov et al., 2019).

What is the potential for small-scale hydropower in Central Asia?

The Central Asian region is endowed with a sizeable potential for small-scale hydropower (Table 1). In Kazakhstan, the estimated potential is 4800 MW for plant capacity of up to 35 MW, and 2707 MW for less than 10 MW (UNIDO and ICSHP, 2016).
