JSC to make use of Kazakhstan’s new technologies<br />

to create effective instruments such<br />

as the capacity market.<br />

KEGOC JSC operates here as an operator<br />

of the market, securing MWs produced by<br />

building sources of energy. This scheme will<br />

increase the cost-effectiveness of projects associated<br />

with the construction of new electric<br />

plants and, accordingly, will ensure the attractiveness<br />

of the electrical energy generation<br />

sector to private investors.<br />

There is, moreover, a large potential. Experts<br />

estimate that to meet the required level of<br />

electric power generation it will be necessary<br />

to invest more than 2 trillion tenge (more than<br />

$13 billion) in electricity generating sector<br />

between now and 2025. Those financial assets<br />

are needed to construct new power units, and<br />

to modernize technical equipment in existing<br />

power stations.<br />

The issue of electric energy demands serious<br />

attention. Not only that, but it requires an<br />

increase in state energy supervision, and a<br />

firmer control of investment regulations. The<br />

security and reliability of the energy supply<br />

provided to the Republic’s consumers are<br />

entirely conditional on those assets.<br />

7. Since August 1, 2010, Kazakhstan has<br />

adopted a unified tariff for electric energy<br />

transmission services within the national<br />

electric grid. What were the reasons for<br />

such a step?<br />

The decision to adopt a unified tariff has<br />

been taken to create equal conditions for the<br />

Company’s consumers, including equal consumer<br />

access to the National Electric Grid.<br />

This measure will lead to an increase in the<br />

transparency of the mechanisms of tariffforming<br />

and price-formation, as well as<br />

regional development in accordance with the<br />

2010-2014 state program of forced industrial<br />

and innovative development.<br />

The unified tariff is the final stage in the fulfillment<br />

of Kazakhstan’s obligation – following<br />
