Highlights

  • The country targets a share of 15% of renewables in the power mix in 2030 and of 50% of renewables and alternative energies by 2050.
  • The country plans to be carbon neutral by 2060.
  • State-owned Samruk-Energy is the largest power producer, with 30% of total production.
  • Around 50% of oil production is provided by two companies: TCO and KMG.
  • Kazatomprom is the largest uranium producer with 55% of the production.
  • Kazakhstan has abundant energy reserves. It holds around 15% of the world's uranium resources and is the largest producer.
  • Gas production has decreased since 2018 and stabilized around 30 Gm3.
  • Almost 90% of the power mix is made up of thermal energy (of which, 56% is coal).
  • The price of oil products is low and quite independent of trends in crude oil prices.
  • Coal supplies almost half of the energy consumption.
  • Buildings absorb 49% of the final consumption.
  • A total of 107 exploration & development licences for oil and gas blocks will be relocated or sold.
  • Sveving Energy plans to develop 40 GW of solar & wind capacities by 2032 to feed a large hydrogen plant.

  • Institutions & Energy Policy

    The Ministry of Energy oversees the energy sector. It was created in 2014 following the merger of three Ministries ("Oil and Gas", "Industry and New Technologies" and "Environment and Water Resources"). This supersized Ministry was created to tackle the declining exports to Russia and the stagnant domestic oil production.

  • Energy Supply

    Resources:

    Kazakhstan has abundant energy reserves. They amount to about 4.1 Gt for oil, around 1 800 bcm for gas and 25.6 Gt for coal (8th largest coal reserves in the world, end of 2022). About 70% of the Kazakhstani oil potential is located in the west of the country, particularly in the Caspian Sea (Kashagan).

  • Energy Prices

    Electricity:

    Electricity prices for households (in US$) rose by 29% in 2023 to US$4.5c/kWh, after having averaged US$3.6c/kWh between 2016 and 2022. Previously, they had surged by 9.5%/year between 2002 and 2013, before falling by 4.6% until 2016. Electricity prices are regulated (price cap set by the CRNM).

  • Energy Consumption

    Per capita consumption is about 4.5 toe and around 4 870 kWh of electricity (2023). This is slightly above the CIS average (+12% and +2%, respectively). The energy intensity of GDP has more than halved since 1992 but is still three times higher than the average EU level.

  • Issues & Prospects

    Oil:

    Kazakhstan's oil potential has recently gained international prominence. The country's main objective is to intensify exploration and production, as well as exports.

    In its oil development plans, Kazakhstan faces one main issue, which is the country's strong dependence on Russia's infrastructures for its exports.

The Kazakhstan energy market data since 1990 and up to is included in the Excel file accompanying the Kazakhstan country report.
It showcases the historical evolution, allowing users to easily work with the data.

Key Data included in the excelsheet:

  • Economic indicators: Annual historical economic indicators, energy security, energy efficiency and CO2 emissions.
  • Supply indicators: Annual historical reserves, capacity, production and external trade (imports(+) exports(-) balance).
  • Demand indicators: Annual historical consumption per capita, consumption trends, total consumption, final consumption (per energy and per sector) and electricity consumption total and per sector.
  • Energy Balance: total and per energy.
  • Kazakhstan Energy Prices: In addition to the analysis provided on the report we also provided a data set which includes historical details on the Kazakhstan energy prices for the follow items: price of premium gasoline (taxes incl.), price of diesel (taxes incl.), price of electricity in industry (taxes incl.), price of electricity for households (taxes incl.), price of natural gas in industry (taxes incl.), prices of natural gas for households (taxes incl.), spot price of Brent and CO2 emissions (from fuel combustion).
