Implementing organisation: UNDP Kazakhstan

Status: ongoing

Description:
The project  builds on the current work of the GEF-funded Kazakhstan Wind Power Market Development Initiative that has compiled a framework for future regulation and legislation for wind power in Kazakhstan.

The GEF-funded wind framework is used to develop detailed regulation drafts, extended to cover all relevant renewables, including price predictions for adoption by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources. The drafts includes a proposed and fully costed national RES development programme.

The project team works with the Ministry of Energy and other state agencies to develop detailed draft legislation in a form appropriate for inclusion in Governmental and Parliamentary sessions.  The draft legislation will allow for an informed political debate on sustainable energy and it will establish the foundation for renewables to become part of the energy mix.
