This session is designed to take a new look at the possibilities of developing small-scale generation in Central Asian countries.
Also, the demonstration of the positive experience of using small-scale renewable energy generation in Germany and other countries of the world shows how economic incentives, appropriate business organization and technical support have helped countries to obtain a very high level of electricity production from renewable energy sources.
The session will also show the current state of development of small-scale RES in Central Asia.
