Abstract: The main objective of the study is to perform a preliminary assessment of the renewable energy (RE) resources in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan and identify the resources most promising for development in each country. The study also took a regional approach to market development, examining the possibility of joint development and of marketing RE systems in the region's countries. The study first examines the energy sector's organizational structure, legal framework, the energy supply and demand balance, and the impetus for the development of renewable energy. The present status and resource potential is discussed. Based on the preliminary data collected, and observations made, a set of case studies was selected for future analysis and for possible consideration for investment. The study recommends these measures: a) setting up an agency for the coordination, facilitation, and promotion of renewable energy resources with a clear mandate from the government; b) establishing a regional RE development center to exploit the scale economies and comparative advantages of the Central Asia as a whole; c) clarification of roles, to eliminate overlapping and conflicts and to simplify procedures in licensing projects; d) creation of a special fund with favorable funding procedures for RE projects; and e) emphasis on the participation of the private sector.
