Kazakhstan has 33 power plants in this atlas, with 18,628 MW of reported capacity. The largest listed plant is Ekibastuz-1 power station (4,000 MW, coal; current status unverified). By number of records the most common technologies are coal, solar and hydro. Grid operators listed here include KEGOC. Electricity is regulated by Committee for the Regulation of Natural Monopolies. Renewables supplied 15.2% of its electricity in 2024.
Reported capacity is the rated size of the listed installations, not electricity being produced now. Source dates and coverage differ, so newer facilities may be absent and historical records may remain.
Grid operators and electricity market in Kazakhstan
Part of the IPS/UPS synchronous grid inherited from the Soviet power system, coordinated from Russia and linking several former Soviet republics.
What does “Wholesale market” mean?
Power plants compete to sell electricity in a wholesale market or pool, dispatched by a system operator. Most consumers still buy from a regulated distribution company at approved tariffs.
