Summary 

Currently, the theme of green energy is relevant in the world. In our country, the President stressed that the development of renewable energy sources is one of the priorities of our state. The main goal of the development of green energy in the country is to overcome the traditional energy system. Because the negative impact of traditional energy sources on the environment is extremely large.

The green economy is one of the most important instruments for ensuring the country's sustainable development. The transition to a "green economy" will allow Kazakhstan to achieve its goal of becoming one of the 30 most developed countries in the world. According to the UNEP report, the “green development” scenario provides for more sustainable economic growth on a new innovative basis, as it promotes the transition to a smart, intelligent economy by finding ways to efficiently use and preserve natural capital (especially non-renewable natural resources), develop human capital on the basis of significant investing in science and education, reducing risks from global threats such as climate change, loss of ecosystem services and water scarcity .

The article presents a comprehensive analysis of the energy sector of Kazakhstan and proposed to use the existing significant potential of wind and solar energy, as well as river energy using small hydropower plants to ensure the optimal structure of generating capacity, taking into account the reduction in total fuel and energy resources, the minimum level of environmental impact on the environment. It also implies compliance with the Kyoto Protocol on reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
