Энергетический сектор Казахстана

Kazakhstan has large reserves of energy resources and lives by the sale of natural energy reserves. The activity of electricity generation, transmission and distribution, operation of power plants, power grids and substations, as well as electricity purchase for resale, are all subject to licensing. Until 2010, Kazakhstan was exporter of electricity, and after 2010 became importer, in another words consuming more energy than it produces. North Kazakhstan exports electricity from Ekibastuz State District Power plant (SDPP-1), to Russia, and south Kazakhstan buys it from the south (Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan).
