Electrical engineering is a basic economic sector in Kazakhstan. A reliable and effective functioning of the sector, stable supply of power and heat consumers are the basis of the national economic development and an intrinsic factor of civilised living conditions. Electrical power is produced by more than 60 different power stations. Electrical networks of Kazakhstan include 464,132 km of power transmission lines with the voltage of 0.4 – 1,150 kV and и 3,419 power substations with the voltage of 35 – 1,150 kV, the total capacity of which is 63,175.5 MVA. Inter-regional and/or inter-state power transmission lines – those with the voltage of 220 kV or higher, which transmit electrical power between regions and/or countries. The 220-500-1,150 kV electrical network is the backbone network in Kazakhstan’s power grid. Inter-system links with power systems of the Russian Federation, the Kyrgyz Republic and the Republic of Uzbekistan are based on the 110-220-500 kV voltage.
Kazakhstan Electricity Grid Operating Company (KEGOC JSC) provides inter-regional and inter-state power transmission from power stations to wholesale consumers using the national power grid.
Regional electrical grid companies (REK) provide power transmission within the region’s power grid to retail market consumers.

The electrical power supply market in Kazakhstan consists of energy supply organisations (ESO). Some of them perform as providers of last resort and purchase electrical power from power producers or at centralised bidding and then sell it to end users.
Since September 2000, the unified energy system of Kazakhstan has worked in parallel with that of Russia and the united energy system of Central Asia. Transfer to this pattern allowed for reliable and high-quality power supply for Kazakhstan power consumers. This also helps to make the work of the national power system more stable, regulate peak loads and exchange electrical power.

The following electrical engineering development programmes have been adopted:
The State Programme on Electrical Engineering Development until 2030 was approved by Resolution No. 384 of the Government of Kazakhstan on April 9, 1999. The Programme was adopted pursuant to the Kazakhstan development strategy to ensure stage-by-stage and continuous supply of electrical power and build an export-oriented and technology-based fuel and energy complex. This Programme will be adjusted to reflect the current status of the industry and real needs in developing new facilities and upgrading the existing ones, in accordance with the action plan on implementation of the national plan of basic activities to carry out annual (2005-20070 addresses of the President to the people of Kazakhstan and the 2007-2009 Programme of the Government of Kazakhstan, approved by Resolution No. 319 of the Government of Kazakhstan on April 20, 2007.
The sectoral programme on development of the unified power system of Kazakhstan until 2010 with extension to 2015, approved by Order No. 160 of the MEMR on May 22, 2006, was adjusted in accordance with the order from the President of Kazakhstan involving design organisations, KEGOC JSC and other power enterprises, as well as oblast akimats.
Instruction No. 147-r by the Prime Minister of Kazakhstan dated May 31, 2007 approved the action plan on development of the electrical engineering industry for 2007-2015. This plan approved the power supply and demand until 2015, the list of electrical power facilities to be reconstructed, upgraded and extended, and the list of new facility construction with scopes and completion dates. The plan also includes activities to promote investment attractiveness of electrical engineering.
The general electrical engineering development strategy aims to ensure power independence and security of the country and provide a reliable power foundation for further sustainable economic growth.
During the first 9 months of 2008, production of electrical power in Kazakhstan was 59,575.3 billion kWh (108.1%).
Beginning with 2009, a significant growth in electrical power consumption and lower electrical power production are expected.
Due to the growing need for electrical power and high wear and tear of equipment at power stations, lack of electrical power and capacity is expected in 2008-2009. The available technical potential of power stations (approximately 82-84 billion kWh) will result in lack of electrical power capacity (over 200 MW) as soon as this year. Southern Kazakhstan is experiencing a tenser situation as it utilises all power stations to the maximum. Lack of electrical power will be covered by supplies from northern Kazakhstan and Central Asian countries.
Repairs of 2 power generating units, 21 boilers and 12 turbines have been completed. Repairs of 5 power generating units, 27 boilers and 24 turbines are to be completed soon. Repairs of electrical and heating grids follow the approved schedule.
Implementation of break-through projects on development of the National Electrical Grid of Kazakhstan continued, as set out by President of Kazakhstan in his February 7, 2008 Address to the People of Kazakhstan.
For the first 9 months 0f 2008, coal production in the country was 79,942.9 million tons (116.4%).
To improve power security, develop the coal industry, supply fuel to power facilities scheduled for repairs, upgrades and expansion, and supply fuel to newly built power stations and utility consumers, the Ministry had developed a concept of the coal industry development until 2020, which was approved by Resolution No. 644 of the Government of Kazakhstan on June 28, 2008.
With regards to the oncoming heating season in autumn and winter of 2008-2009, coal reserves at power stations were 3.5 million tons (121.2%), as of October 1, 2008.
The demand of budget-run organisations and utility organisations in coal was 7.9 million tons, as of October 1, 2008, while 5.9 million tons was supplied (74.8 %).
The work on bringing the coal industry up to international standards will continue. A 100% completion of international standards will be ensured by 2011.
