(MENAFNEditorial)
We expect healthy growth in Kazakhstan's power sector over BMI's 10-year forecast period to 2023 in terms of generation and consumption. Coal will retain its dominance accounting for over 80% of the country's energy generation by 2023. However non-hydro renewables will grow rapidly with a slew of foreign-financed wind and solar projects in the pipeline. The government also plan s to restart the exploitation of nuclear energy helped by Kazakhstan's vast uranium wealth. Power production will comfortably meet demand with Kazakhstan's dependence on energy imports decreasing over the 10-year period. For much of the forecast period system losses will be considerable but steady investment in transmission and distribution infrastructure will narrow the supply/demand gap significantly .
Key Trends And Developments
* The credibility of the government's plans to build a nuclear power station have increased with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding in September between Rosatom and Kazatomprom and a draft Intergovernmental Agreement between Astana and Moscow on the construction and operation of a nuclear power plant in Kazakhstan.
* The development of Kazakhstan's nuclear capacity continues. In October the government announced plans for a EUR55mn solar power plant to be built in Astana in 2016 and stated that a 2MW solar power plant in Kapshagay is now ready to supply electricity to the grid of the Almaty region helping to plug a shortfall in supplies to the south of the country. Meanwhile in September the government announced plans to build a USD550mn wind power plant to be constructed by Kazakh company Windhan in Zhambyl Oblast capable of generating 250MW per day.
* In November 2014 the Kazakhstan Electricity Grid Operating Company announced new plans to list 10% of its shares in a so-called People's IPO on the local stock exchange with the aims of raising USD72.6mn in capital. The company will issue 25999999 ordinary shares...
