Business of wind energy
IWE participated in 3 sessions
1. RE Zones Methodology: Case studies in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan
2. Grid integration of renewable energy
3. Deep dive workshop on RE Zones
Participated in USAID-BADGE (Bangladesh Advancing Development and Growth through Energy) workshop on DE-RISKING RENEWABLE ENERGY INVESTMENTS. Topics covered included:
• Pre-Feasibility and Feasibility Study
• Technology (Utility-Scale Solar, Wind & Hybrid Project)
• Generation Forecasting
• Maintenance and Monitoring Systems
USAID’s Power the Future (PtF) Activity organized a site visit to Kerbulak-2 wind power plant (WPP) in Kapshagay, Almaty region for 30 faculty members of Almaty University for Power Engineering and Telecommunications (AUPET). The goal of the event was to share practical knowledge and experience about wind turbine components, installation, operations, maintenance, and grid connection. During the visit, participants had the opportunity to closely observe how the WPP is operated and maintained and ask questions about the plant’s needs and grid impacts from plant operators.
Participated in a roundtable in Aktau with the stakeholders in the power sector of Mangystau on the topic of Renewable Energy Zones

"I am very appreciative of Pramod Jain and the Innovative Wind Energy, Inc team's hard work and perseverance." Marina Barnett, Senior Program Coordinator, Energy Utility Partnership Program, U.S. Energy Association.
We are organizing a USAID webinar under the Scaling Up of Renewable Energy project.
VRE generation forecasting and its integration with dispatching and market operations is explored with experiences in Indonesia, Kazakhstan, and Pakistan. VRE forecasting helps utilities cost-effectively integrate utility-scale VRE and distributed energy resources into the power grid. Consumers will enjoy lower electricity prices and less risk of power outages as a result of the grid’s improved reliability and flexibility.
