Abstract
share of renewable energy.The expediency of using the concept of "energy freedom", at least in relation to the Republic of Kazakhstan, is substantiated.It is shown that the goal of the development of small green energy should be precisely the achievement of energy freedom for households, oriented towards the institutions of civil society.This implies, inter alia, the development of a wide range of non-trivial technical solutions that provide, for example, direct heat generation without an intermediate stage of conversion into electrical current.A specific example is considered, demonstrating the adequacy of the proposed approach.It is also shown that the primary measures to ensure the energy freedom of households can be implemented even when using equipment available on the market.Specific calculations are presented which prove that the transition to decentralized heat supply is economically feasible using available equipment.
