New National Energy Plan 2008-16
A national energy plan to 2016 was announced in May 2008. The plan predicts an annual growth of 1.4% in energy demand. The plan allots an investment of EUR 9.22 m in improving electrical infrastructure and of EUR 10.2 m in gas infrastructure. It calls for increased energy production capacity and diversifying the energy mix, by increasing wind- and gas-fired capacity and a reduction in other fossi fuel and nuclear generation. Extra effort to support renewables is also promised.

Auction mechanism for the construction of maneuverable capacities
There is a surplus of power generation capactities (2000 MW) in Kazakhstan, however it is accompanied with the shortage of maneuverable capacities. System operator is forced to use the regulation of the Russian energy system. With the adoption of the Law "On Amendments and Additions to Certain Legislative Acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan on Supporting the Use of Renewable Energy Sources and Electricity" on December 7th 2020, the selection of projects for the creation of flexible generation will be carried out through the use of an auctioning mechanism. It is expected that it will give impetus to the construction…

Energy Law No. 30/2007
In 2007, the government established a specific legal basis for national energy management, with the adoption of Energy Law No. 30/2007 (EL7). The law spells out general principles for the management of energy resources and the government basic targets for the future development of the energy mix. This Law recognises energy security as a critical national issue, and sets out to reduce dependence on imported refined oil while boosting the use of other energy sources, including natural gas, biofuels and geothermal resources. It is a comprehensive law that stresses the importance of sustainable development, environmental preservation and energy resilience…
