Kazakhstan energy report

• The 2050 Strategy targets a 50% share of clean energies in total energy consumption by 2050.
• State-owned Samruk-Energy is the largest power producer, with around 30% of total production.
• Around 60% of oil production is provided by 3 consortia (TCO, NCOC, and KPO), in which national company KazMunaiGas holds stakes.
• Kazakhstan has abundant energy reserves. It holds more than 10% of the world's uranium resources and is the largest producer.
• Oil production has been slightly decreasing since 2013.
• Energy prices were strongly increased in 2011.
• Energy consumption is almost entirely covered from fossil energy sources (99%).
• The Strategy 2050 expects power demand to double by 2050.

• 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

  Gas:

  Gas marketed production has more than tripled since 2000, reaching about 44.7 bcm in 2019. Kazakhstan's natural gas is almost entirely associated gas and is mainly concentrated around three fields: Karachaganak (48%), Tengiz (30%) and Kashagan (16%). Out of total gross production, approximately 40% is pumped back into the reservoirs to maintain pressure.

• Energy Prices

  Electricity:

  Electricity prices for households increased by 25% in 2018, reaching US$4.4c/kWh in 2019.

• Energy Consumption

  Per capita consumption is about 4.8 toe, and around 4 200 kWh of electricity.

• 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 the Kazakhstan energy market report you will find the following tables:

• Economic Indicators: Annual historical data including population, GDP growth, imports and exports, inflation rate, energy security and efficiency indicators, CO₂ emissions.
• Supply Indicators: Historical data including oil and gas reserves, electric and refining capacity, energy production, power production and external trade. All are detailed by energy source.
• Demand Indicators: Historical data including consumption per inhabitant, consumption trends, total consumption by energy source, final consumption by energy source and sector, and electricity consumption by sector.
• Energy Balances: Single table displaying the overall energy industry balance per annum, also graphically displayed by energy sub-segment.
• Infrastructure Projects: Covers power plant projects by energy, technology, status and operator.

The Kazakhstan energy market data since 1990 and up to 2017 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).
