What is the potential for small-scale hydropower in Central Asia?

The Central Asian region is endowed with a sizeable potential for small-scale hydropower (Table 1). In Kazakhstan, the estimated potential is 4800 MW for plant capacity of up to 35 MW, and 2707 MW for less than 10 MW (UNIDO and ICSHP, 2016).

How many solar thermal collectors are there in Bishkek Oblast?

CADGAT reports of 0.5 MW solar thermal collectors in “Bishkekteploenergo” utility in Bishkek city and 15 units of 300 W solar PV powered housing in remote Ken-Suu village of Djumgal district in Naryn oblast (Eshchanov et al., 2019).

How much energy can be extracted from sedimentary basins in Kazakhstan?

In Kazakhstan, the estimated gross potential for geothermal energy is 54,000 TWh, technical potential is 54 TWh and economic potential is 0.54 TWh per year (Jorde et al., 2009). Based on the work of Boguslavsky et al. (1999), extractable energy from 13 sedimentary basins is estimated at 23,460–25,270 PJ/year (Jóhannesson et al., 2019).

How big is solar PV bioenergy?

solar PV bioenergy from 200 MW to 800 MW. However, deployment is minuscule: 5–225 MW in small-scale hydropower across five countries, whereas only Kazakhstan deployed large-scale solar PV (>800 MW) and wind (>300 MW).
