Kazakhstan is experiencing a consistent increase in electricity consumption due to industrial growth, urbanization, and rising living standards, with demand expected to reach 111 terawatt hours (TWh) by 2035. The industrial sector accounts for 56% of electricity usage, driven by mining, metallurgy, and oil refining, while the residential sector is also seeing a significant rise in energy needs. To meet this demand, the government plans to add at least 17.5 gigawatts of new power capacity by 2035, including contributions from gas, hydropower, coal, renewable energy, and nuclear sources.
