Kazakhstan genius energy solutions

How can Kazakhstan achieve a sustainable power supply?

Kazakhstan’s supply of power to consumers should be secure, equitable, and sustainable. This can be achieved through a combination of decarbonized baseload generation – using gas and nuclear power, and renewable energy capacities – including zero-carbon wind power and hydropower; harnessed by the frontier grid and digital solutions.

Will Kazakhstan reach 15 percent of the energy mix by 2030?

Renewable energy technologies like wind turbines have passed the tipping point in terms of power output and cost. We welcome Kazakhstan’s ambitious goal to increase the share of renewables to 15 percent of the energy mix by 2030 – and look forward to delivering best-in-class solutions to help the country achieve this.

Does Kazakhstan need more energy?

As Kazakhstan expands renewables, more investment will be needed in flexible capacity such as gas-fired and hydro power plants to accommodate the variability of solar and wind output, the report says. Kazakhstan’s system currently relies significantly on electricity imports from Russia to cover imbalances and maintain frequency stability.

Is Kazakhstan a good place to invest in energy?

However, as a country with significant energy resource potential, Kazakhstan’s power industry is well-positioned to make significant gains in energy efficiency and decarbonization – while meeting rapidly rising demand.

Does Kazakhstan have a competitive edge in green hydrogen production?

Kazakhstan holds a competitive edge in green hydrogen production due to its vast renewable energy potential, particularly in wind and solar power. This makes it more economically viable than other countries such as Germany. Andresh said green hydrogen development is “much more economically attractive” in Kazakhstan.

Should Kazakhstan build a nuclear plant?

The plan to build a nuclear plant in Kazakhstan will be vital for meeting the long-term decarbonization target. It would not be possible to meet the growing demand for power and decarbonize the sector using renewable energy alone, as a foundation of balancing capacities and an advanced grid must be built first.
