Kazakhstan builds largest solar power plant in Central Asia Power and Energy

06 Feb 2019| Posted by Morris | In Power and Energy

The beginning of the transition towards greater reliance on "green energy", Kazakhstan has benefited from the nature of its topography, especially in the area where the solar power plant, which has a very wide range, was established. The region remains vulnerable to sunlight most of the year, in the Central Asian Republic, and is characterized by a relatively warm climate. With suitable geographical and climatic conditions, the project owners chose modern solar panels from the "last generation", which do not accumulate snow, while the rain flows on its edges without forming a layer of water affecting its work. Even when the weather is cloudy, these cells can generate 10-15 megawatts of power, cells that are usable for about half a century. Additional power stations were constructed to distribute electricity produced by solar cells, as well as to extend cables to reach electricity regularly.

The plant was set up as part of a government plan to increase reliance on alternative energy sources, with its electricity output accounting for 30 percent of the country's total needs by 2010. The project is owned by the private sector, in which a group of European companies invested $ 731 million. EU investors are planning to invest half a billion dollars in developing green energy projects in Kazakhstan and building 3 or 4 new solar plants in the coming years.

Increasingly, attention is directed towards the sky, specifically towards the sun, to obtain an alternative source of energy from conventional sources, which at the same time meets environmental safety standards, within what has come to be known as green energy. The Republic of Kazakhstan (former Soviet Union) has joined the countries that have begun to rely on solar energy for electricity and has recently completed the construction of a solar power plant in Sarani, the central province of Karaganda, which is described as the largest in Central Asia. 461 ha, monument 703 Love board solar energy into electrical energy. The new plant can generate 001 megawatts of electric power, which is »sufficient to cover the needs of 01 cities«, according to the mayor of Caragnda province.
