In 2020, Kazakhstan generated 108 billion kWh of electricity with consumption at the level of 107.3 billion, which indicates that the country's needs for electricity are fully met. The plans for 2021 are the production of 109 billion kWh of electricity, Energy Minister Nurlan Nogayev said during a meeting of the expanded board of the department.

Along with this, the Ministry of Energy developed and approved a plan for the siting of generating plants with a flexible generation mode with the definition of a zone, type of power plant, the required volumes of flexible capacities in the zone of the Unified Power System of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

“The development of flexible capacities is a prerequisite for ensuring the country's energy security, given the growing consumption of electricity and the share of alternative and renewable types of energy in the energy balance,” stressed the Minister of Energy.

According to the plan, promising sites for the construction of flexible capacities have been identified, and at the end of 2021, it is planned to hold an auction to select investment projects.
