Olezhas Baktanov held a meeting on the development of the electricity sector in the country: the projects of the "Samruk-Kazina" fund were reviewed Prime Minister of Kazakhstan, Olezhas Baktanov, held a meeting on current issues of the electricity industry. There, projects of the "Samrock-Casina" fund and steps to strengthen the country's energy sovereignty were reviewed. "The head of state Kasem-Jomart Tokaiv in his speech to the people of Kazakhstan declared 2027 as the year of large-scale national construction. In the context of economic growth, the implementation of new industrial projects and the rapid development of digital infrastructures, the load on the energy system will increase significantly. The mission of the head of state to reach a level of surplus production of energy sources by the year 2029 requires full coordination of three directions, namely increasing production capacity and developing electricity networks and increasing consumption," the Prime Minister noted. Nabi Aitznov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of KEGOC JSC, reported on the current state of implementation of investment projects. The project to strengthen the power grid of the southern region of the Unified Power System of Kazakhstan will increase the carrying capacity of the Almaty - Zhembil - Shymkent crossing by 440 MW. It is scheduled to be operational in July 2027. The implementation of the project will strengthen the reliability of the electricity supply in the southern region, as well as create additional conditions for the integration of renewable energy sources. The project to integrate the electricity system of Western Kazakhstan with the unified electricity system of Kazakhstan is intended to strengthen the energy independence of the region and increase the carrying capacity to 500 MW. Its implementation will increase the reliability of electricity supply to the western region, double the production capacity of power plants in the Atyrau and Aktobe regions, and ease the load on the Aktobe energy center. Completion of the project is scheduled for December next year.
