The Regional Electricity Companies (REC)
own and operate the networks at a regional
level.
Electricity Transmission Organizations (ETO)
are contracted to transmit electricity via
their own electrical networks to wholesale
and retail consumers and energy-supplying
organizations.
The National Dispatch Centre of the System
Operator – NDC SO – is the KEGOC’s branch
responsible for the centrally managed and
controlled dispatch of the UPS Kazakhstan.
The electricity supply sector of the Kazakhstan
electricity market is comprised of the
Electricity Supply Organizations (ESO) who
are engaged in direct electricity buying and

organizations, and in centralized auctions
with further re-sale to end retail consumers.
In 1999 Kazakhstan electricity market participants
(generation companies, RECs, System
Operator and bulk consumers) established

provide capacity reserves on a contractual
basis to secure an uninterruptable supply to
the Pool founders in case of an unexpected
failure of generating capacities and transmission
lines in Kazakhstan.
