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 />
