A green economy is a low carbon economy that uses resources efficiently and serves the interests of the whole society, says the UN Environment System (UNEP). Global trends in the global "green economy" increase energy efficiency and the introduction of renewable energy sources (RES).

Alternative energy is obtained from sustainable sources: sun, wind, water, geothermal sources, biofuels, ebb and flow. Unlike fossil fuels: oil, natural gas, coal - these energy sources are not depleted, which is why they are called renewable. In 2019 alone, hundreds of thousands of facilities (RES) with a total capacity of 200 GW were installed around the world.

Unfortunately, the practical use of RES in Kyrgyzstan is less than 1%, although according to the State Committee for Industry, Energy and Subsoil Use:

• the potential of solar energy in the country is estimated at - 490 million kWh / year
• small hydropower can provide - 5-8 billion kWh / year, and the total hydropower potential of the country is 142.5 billion kWh / year
• potential of wind energy is - 44.6 million kWh / year
• the possibility of using universal bioenergy equals - 1.3 billion kWh / year
• Another promising, but not counted type of RES in the Kyrgyz Republic is geothermal energy, it uses the heat of the Earth to generate electricity. The subsoil temperature allows heating the upper layers of the Earth and underground water bodies. Especially this type of RES could be effective in regions where hot springs are located close to the surface of the earth's crust.
