Astana, February 5 (Xinhua) — Kazakhstan will fully cover its domestic electricity needs by the end of the first quarter of 2027, and will achieve a sustainable surplus by 2029 through the introduction of new capacity and the modernization of existing generation. This was reported on Thursday by the Kazinform news agency, citing the press service of the Kazakh government.
As noted, work on developing the electric power industry is being carried out in accordance with the instructions of Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and is aimed at increasing the reliability of the energy system and strengthening the country's energy security. Key measures include increasing installed capacity, constructing new generating facilities, and establishing a sustainable investment mechanism.
According to the Ministry of Energy, the installed capacity of the power system will reach 26.7 GW by the end of 2025. The majority of generation comes from coal-fired and gas-fired power plants, with renewable energy sources accounting for 3.6 GW.
According to the Energy Sector Development Plan through 2035, the country plans to commission over 26 GW of new capacity, including conventional generation, renewable energy projects, and a nuclear power plant. Particular emphasis is placed on developing flexible generation, ensuring the flexibility and resilience of the energy system.
The government also reported that dozens of investment projects are in the active implementation phase, and the phased introduction of new capacity in 2026-2029 will not only eliminate the electricity shortage but also create conditions for growing export potential. –0–
