Abstract: The energy sectors of fossil fuel-rich Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan are heavily dependent on non-renewable resources. The abundance of these resources acts as an obstacle in the process of energy sector diversification in the Central Asian states. The future diversification of energy sources is, however, an inevitable process for many reasons: man-made climate change, the need for transition to reliable and secure energy sources and availability of a vast potential for renewable energy generation being the most important.
