ASTANA, Kazakhstan, May 29. Ensuring stable
supply of energy resources to the domestic market remains an
absolute priority for Kazakhstan, Energy Minister Yerlan
Akkenzhenov said at a meeting of the Council of Heads of Authorized
Energy Authorities of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), Trend reports via the
Ministry of Energy.
The ministry outlined Kazakhstan’s core principles in shaping
the architecture of a common energy trading space within the
Union.
The minister stressed that the development of the Eurasian
economy directly depends on the ability of member states to
maintain a balanced and well-calibrated approach.
“The formation of a common space for the free movement of gas,
oil, and electricity must be based on the protection of national
interests. For Kazakhstan, an absolute priority is the stable
supply of energy resources to the domestic market and the
prevention of shortages in our regions,” Akkenzhenov said.
He added that building fair mechanisms for access to transport
infrastructure, as well as developing unified digital systems —
including the cross-border recognition of electronic signatures in
electricity transactions — requires a careful and balanced
approach.
The ministry noted that Kazakhstan’s Energy Ministry highly
values the constructive dialogue established with EAEU
partners.
From January through March 2026, Kazakhstan produced 33.7
billion kWh of electricity.
