Kazakhstan is one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the world and is among the 30 largest countries in terms of GHG emissions. These are mainly associated with energy production: with 82 percent of all emissions generated in the country originating here. Therefore, replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy sources in heat and electricity production will reduce GHG emissions considerably. And to increase the share of renewable energy in the country's electricity generation infrastructure, private sector investment in renewable energy sources must be encouraged.

These materials have been compiled in a comprehensive manual, an investment guide that provides extensive information on opportunities in small-scale renewable energy projects in Kazakhstan. The step-by-step section presents algorithms and financial tools for different target groups, for example, investors who have already planned and budgeted for such a project.

This manual will be useful for potential investors, as experts have developed guidelines, recommendations and successful examples for the implementation of small renewable energy projects.
