Renewable Energy Data and Decision Support for Kazakhstan - RE Data Explorer in Action
- National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Golden, CO (United States)
In 2016, with support from USAID Central Asia and the U.S. Department of State Leadership Compact, and in collaboration with the Government of Kazakhstan and other Central Asian governments, NREL launched the RE Data Explorer for Central Asia, including world-class wind and solar resource data for Kazakhstan and surrounding countries. The RE Data Explorer provides an easy- to-use online platform for users to view, analyze, and download high-quality datasets for informed decision-making. The RE Data Explorer is part of a broader platform called the RE Explorer that provides expertly curated materials and knowledge resources to enable data-driven decisions. This case study documents how the RE Data Explorer was used to support renewable energy decision-making in Kazakhstan.
