"Kazakhstan Power Report Q3 2016" is now available at Fast Market Research

This quarter we have revised the forecasts downwards on account of many of the macroeconomic problems facing Kazakhstan and the fact that there are very few projects in the project pipeline. This notwithstanding, w e continue to expect growth - albeit at a more moderate pace than previously forecasted - in Kazakhstan's power sector over BMI's 10-year forecast period to 2025 , in terms of generation and consumption. Although c oal will continue to maintain its dominance over our ten-year forecast period to 20 25, non-hydro renewables will grow rapidly, with a slew of foreign-financed wind and solar projects in the pipeline. The government also plan s to restart the exploitation of nuclear energy, helped by Kazakhstan's vast uranium wealth. Power production will comfortably meet demand, with Kazakhstan's dependence on energy imports decreasing over our forecast period .

We expect the Kazakh solar power sector to register limited growth over the next five years, as a result of the sporadic completion of only a small number of solar power projects. This will be in large part the result of investment prospects in the sector being undermined by uncertainty over the country's economic outlook and Kazakhstan's challenging business environment.

In October 2015, Kazakhstan announced that, 65 of the largest Kazakh state-controlled companies in the oil and gas, transportation, energy and nuclear sectors, including Samruk Energo will be privatised via an IPO between 2016 and 2020. The decision to sell a stake in the state-controlled energy companies was precipitated by both political and economic factors: the country's export-driven, hydrocarbon-based economy suffered greatly amid crashing commodities prices, and mismanagement of its currency exacerbated these problems further.
