“Leader of the Nation, Nursultan Nazarbayev, set the task to increase the share of alternative energy to 30% by 2030. We, as a company working on behalf of the Government with investors, welcome and strongly support the desire of our foreign partners to invest in “green technologies” and renewable energy sources”, Timur Tilinin, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of KAZAKH INVEST NC JSC, said.
This is the second project implemented by Solarnet Investment GmbH in this region, and the third solar station in the region.
