Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and Uzbekistan are strengthening their strategic partnership in green energy production and transmission. The Senate, the upper house of the Kazakh Parliament, has ratified an agreement outlining joint efforts to develop green energy and export it to European and other markets. To ensure uninterrupted energy supply, the parties will establish technical and commercial terms. The agreement also includes plans to implement new energy-efficiency technologies. According to senators, the launch of the energy corridor will bring together the efforts of regional partners, support the expansion of domestic networks, and eventually enable connection to the Black Sea underwater power transmission line.
«The agreement outlines cooperation between the three countries in developing green energy. To enhance its effectiveness, the parties plan to establish a dedicated Steering Committee and Working Group. Overall, the law’s approval is expected to contribute to the development of renewable energy in Kazakhstan and strengthen regional cooperation in this sector,» said Senate Chairman Maulen Ashimbayev.
«The ratification of the agreement will reinforce Kazakhstan’s status as a regional energy hub and ensure sustainable economic growth through the export of low-carbon products. At the same time, the document goes beyond electricity supplies, boosting the development of green hydrogen and ammonia. With Kazakhstan’s adoption of an updated green hydrogen development concept until 2040, the importance of this sector is set to grow steadily,» said Senate member Suindik Aldashev.
Meanwhile, Kazakhstan continues to expand its alternative energy capacity. The country currently operates 164 renewable energy facilities, including solar, wind, hydro, and biogas plants. Last year, these facilities generated over 8.5 billion kWh of power, representing about 7% of the country’s total electricity production.
