Developing RES and Attracting FDI
The virtual event brings together authorities and energy companies from Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Mongolia as well as international financial institutions and major multinational investors, EPC and consultancy firms for a dialogue aimed at fostering the deployment of renewable energy in the region and attracting foreign direct investment.
The region has enormous solar potential coupled with the favourable conditions. Uzbekistan aims to deploy 5 GW of PV by 2030 and is realising solar programs mandated by the Government to IFIs, such as the ADB 1 GW solar program (Sherabad I & Sherabad II) and the IFC Scaling Solar Program (Scaling Solar 1, 2 & 3).
Wind energy has the greatest potential among all RES in some countries of the region. By mid-2020, there were 22 WPPs in operation with a total capacity of 383.9 MW in Kazakhstan as well as many projects in the pipeline. The technical potential for wind power in Mongolia was estimated by NREL to be in excess of 1TW.
By hydro resources, Tajikistan is ranked top in Central Asia and eight in the world, with approximately 220 terawatt-hours technically recoverable resources. In Kyrgyzstan, the hydropower potential is estimated at 142.5 billion kWh, which is currently only used by 10%. Uzbekistan is to develop 3.8 GW by 2030.

What are the expectations with regard to the share of renewables in the total electricity generation of each country by 2030? What reforms are being implemented by each country to foster or further scale up renewable energy deployment? What is the position of individual countries in the face of the energy transition and how do they attract investors in global competition? What support schemes are there at the moment?
1.5 hours
Which policy and regulatory choices are promising to accelerate renewable energy deployment while the rapidly growing population in the cities creates a need for energy that cannot keep pace with demands?
The country’s combined wind and solar power potential is estimated to be equivalent to 2,600 GW of installed capacity. The government’s target is a share of renewable energy in total installed capacity of 20% by 2023 and 30% by 2030 as announced in the State Policy on Energy, 2015–2030.
30 minutes
What are the most suitable support schemes for the countries of the region? How to overcome uncertainty about the “right” level of support for renewables and the concern that countries may be “overpaying”? How to scale up renewable energy investments in the countries? How important are (long term) PPA-tariffs for renewables from an economic, regulatory, environmental, social, and sustainability (global) perspective? Renewable energy auctions: expectations vs. reality. How can competitive tenders strengthen the case for renewables in the region?

Join us for the "Roll the Dice" icebreaker. We will assign a question to each of the numbers on a dice. Then, will roll the dice and see what everyone says. Get ready for both personality questions, such as, “If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?" as well as professional ones, such as "Which RES technologies will dominate in the future?”

Wind energy has great potential in Central Asia & Mongolia. In Kazakhstan, there were 22 WPPs in operation with a total capacity of 383.9 MW. Uzbekistan aims to deploy up to 3GW of wind generation in the next 10 years. With large areas of Class I and Class II wind, the technical potential for wind power in Mongolia was estimated by NREL in 2001 to be in excess of 1TW. Project status update: 100 MW wind power project in Karakalpakstan region of Uzbekistan, projects based on bilateral contracts with ACWA Power and Masdar Clean Energy, Zhanatas 100 MW wind farm in Kazakhstan. Technology showcases for wind energy.
1.5 hours
The Ministry of Energy of Uzbekistan, ACWA Power and Air Products signed a strategic framework agreement to develop hydrogen research programmes and projects. Will Uzbekistan be entering the market soon?
30 minutes
Join us for an informal discussion on post-pandemic industry resilience. Bottlenecks, cancellations, and delays in project completion. What are the new challenges and how to overcome them? How will the issues COVID-19 revealed transform supply chains?
