Current status, problems and potential of the energy sector of Kazakhstan.

Abstract

Energetics plays one of the key roles in the modern world. Without energy, it is diffi cult to imagine our existence, our life, work and the future. Energy consumption has doubled over the past thirty fi ve years, and mineral resources no longer become. Coal, oil, gas and uranium: they are becoming less and less, but in some time these energy sources can be replaced by renewable. Using for this the energy of wind, water and sun. Already there are entire villages that use natural power to satisfy energy needs. Wind turbines are extremely powerful installations that convert wind power into energy. Steppes of Kazakhstan are ideal place for wind turbines, which was confi rmed by researching wind potential. In this regard, the government has drafted a development of the economy about the construction of such facilities. By 2020, it is planned to build 13 wind stations and 4 solar stations
