According to the message of K.-Zh. Tokayev to the population: “According to our plans, by 2035, 6.5 GW of renewable energy resources will be introduced in Kazakhstan. Another promising area is “green” hydrogen. International experts believe that our country can become one of the ten largest exporters of hydrogen. We should focus on developing a green economy. It is clear that in the long term, a global transition to clean energy is inevitable. The structure of the country’s energy balance will inevitably change. Therefore, it is necessary to improve approaches to managing the entire energy industry: from generation to sales”.
