At a meeting of the Investment Headquarters chaired by Prime Minister Askar Mamin, the progress of investment projects in the field of renewable energy and healthcare was reviewed, Kazpravda.kz reports with reference to the press service of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Energy Minister Magzum Mirzagaliyev and Chairman of the Board of Samruk-Kazyna NWF JSC Almasadam Satkaliyev reported on the status of investment projects in the field of renewable energy in the Republic of Kazakhstan.
So, since 2014, 780 billion tenge has been attracted, including 150 billion tenge for 9 months of this year. 126 renewable energy facilities were commissioned with a total power generation capacity of 1,975 MW, more than 2 thousand permanent jobs were created.
41% of electricity from renewable energy sources is produced at solar power plants, 35% at wind power plants, 23.8% at small hydroelectric power plants.
By 2030, the share of renewable energy sources in the structure of electricity generation is planned to increase from the existing 3% to 15%. To achieve this indicator, it is necessary to commission 7 GW of new RES capacities, which will attract investments in the industry in the amount of 3 trillion tenge.
Currently, the Government of Kazakhstan has reached agreements with the Arab company "ADQ" and the French company "Total Energies". Large-scale projects involve the phased introduction of 5 GW of new renewable energy capacities in the next 10 years. The implementation of joint investment projects will reduce the volume of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere by 8 million tons, produce an additional 20 billion kWh of green energy and create 3 thousand jobs.
To create favorable conditions for investors on the basis of the Settlement and Financial Center, it is proposed to introduce the principle of a "Single Window", to settle the issue of concluding bilateral contracts between an energy producing organization using renewable energy sources and consumers, and also to simplify the procedure for drawing up an arbitration agreement in order to protect the interests of investors.
Health Minister Alexei Tsoi reported on investment projects to develop health infrastructure. Within four years, it is planned to build 20 multidisciplinary hospitals and 2 scientific and innovative multidisciplinary clinics in Kazakhstan.
Representatives of investor companies, regional akimats and central government bodies reported on the progress of hospital construction projects in Turkestan, Petropavlovsk, Nur-Sultan, Kostanay, Aktau, Aktobe, Atyrau, Karaganda, Kokshetau, Pavlodar, Taraz, Almaty, etc.
