Event reports
The director of Astana Solar, Vyacheslav K. Sovetskyi, welcomed both representatives of KAS. After visiting the manufacturing site for solar panels, there was an intensive discussion about Kazakhstan's strategy towards a broader use of renewable energies (RE). The current share of RE is around 1 per cent, but shall be increased to 30 per cent in 2030. To promote the further expansion of RE, maintenance capacities, especially in rural areas, have to be built up. This provides a lot of opportunities for Kazakh-German exchange in vocational training programmes, too.
