A data overview is available in the global energy statistics app
Kazakhstan Total Energy Production & 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.
Total energy consumption decreased by 1% in 2024, after a strong growth by 5.5% in 2023, and a stability in 2022. It decreased slightly over 2010-2019 (-0.5%/year).

Kazakhstan Oil Production & Consumption
Oil production decreased by 2.7% in 2024 to 88 Mt, after averaging 86 Mt since 2020. The country's OPEC+ quota and voluntary cuts for 2023 amounted to 81.4 Mt in 2023 and was exceeded by 11.5%. In November 2023, Kazakhstan announced additional voluntary cuts of 82 kb/d during the first quarter of 2024 (later extended until the end of the second quarter of 2024). In June 2024, the OPEC+ set a required production level in the country of 1,628 kb/d (81.4 Mt) for 2025.

Kazakhstan Natural Gas Production & Consumption
Gas marketed production which had been decreasing rapidly since a peak at 41 bcm in 2018 (-12%/year) to 28 bcm in 2021, has been recovering until 2023 (+5%/year) and remained stable in 2024 (30 bcm). It increased fourfold between 2000 and 2018.
Karachaganak accounted for 38% of the country's gross production in 2023, followed by Tengiz (27%) and Kashagan (20%).

Kazakhstan Renewable in % Electricity Production
According to the 2050 Strategy (2013), solar and wind were meant to account for 3% of the power mix by 2020 (2% reached in 2020) and about 10% by 2030 (5.1% reached in 2023). In 2021, the government raised the 2030 target to 15%. By 2050, the country aims to generate 50% of its power from "alternative (i.e. nuclear) or renewable sources".
The National Programme of Wind Power Sector Development set wind a generation target of 5 TWh in 2024 (almost achieved with 4.5 TWh generated).

Kazakhstan GHG emissions and CO2 emissions
In its first NDC (2015, updated in 2023 with the same objective), the country set an unconditional target to reduce GHG emissions to 15% below 1990 levels by 2030 and a conditional target of 25%. In 2020, the government announced an unconditional target to reach carbon neutrality by 2060.
CO2 emissions from energy combustion remained roughly stable since 2021, (228 MtCO2 in 2024). They more than doubled between 2000 and their peak at 250 Mt in 2013.
