Increasing the efficiency of renewable energy use is an important priority as more and more people are now showing
interest in sustainable and clean energy sources. An integrated approach aimed at enhancing the efficiency of utilizing
renewable energy sources for small-scale decentralized consumers is particularly pertinent. This article aims to explore and
establish the principles of an integrated approach suitable for enhancing the efficiency of renewable energy utilization among
small-scale, decentralized consumers. Among the methods used, it should be noted the analytical method, the classification
method, the functional method, the statistical method, the synthesis method. Kazakhstan is actively promoting the development
of renewable energy. The presence of institutional frameworks, including development initiatives, legal provisions, and
supportive measures for the renewable energy sector, has contributed to the expansion of installed capacity in renewable energy
stations. The installed capacity of wind farms is particularly high, and it is estimated that they produce much more energy than
solar farms. This is due to the spatial distribution of these renewable energy sources. The amount of available solar and wind
energy varies significantly in different regions of Kazakhstan (from 5 to 90%). Wind farms have the potential to meet a
significant portion or even all the electricity demand in each region. Solar energy is less probable and may only serve as a
supplementary energy source; however, the Kyzylorda, North Kazakhstan, and Zhambyl regions exhibit the most substantial
potential for energy supply derived from renewable energy sources (RES). The outcomes of the economic evaluation
demonstrate that electricity generated from wind and solar sources is cost-effective. The practical significance of this research
lies in offering valuable scientific insights and recommendations that aid in developing and implementing an integrated
approach to enhance the efficiency of renewable energy utilization among small-scale decentralized consumers. This
contributes to sustainable development goals and reduces reliance on conventional energy sources.
