Jointly organised by IRENA and Ministry of Energy of Kazakhstan, the workshop aims to support the use of international best practice in long-term energy planning, and further the Agency’s efforts under the Astana Communique on Accelerating the Uptake of Renewables in Central Asia.

During the workshop, participants will discuss the range of tools and methodologies that are available around the world to specifically address the improved representation of variable renewable energy in long-term planning. Good practices to enhance capacity expansion planning to achieve significant renewable energy deployment will be presented by international experts.
