ASTANA, Kazakhstan, December 15. Kazakhstan’s
energy system achieved a record production of 118 billion kWh in
2025, Energy Minister Yerlan Akkenzhenov said at a press conference
on the Government's performance in the deep processing and oil and
gas chemistry sector, Trend reports via the country's Ministry of
Energy.
Akkenzhenov emphasized that in 2025, significant milestones were
achieved in the energy sector with the commissioning of gas turbine
units at the Tekeli energy complex and the launch of a new 130 MW
turbo-generator at the Topar thermal power plant (TPP).
He underscored that a major accomplishment in the energy
infrastructure domain was the cessation of years of accumulated
wear and tear, marking the commencement of an extensive asset
renewal cycle. The introduction of the "Tariff for Investment"
principle has significantly enhanced investment activity, leading
to a 20 percent increase in capital investments for power station
repairs.
The minister further noted that, for the first time in many
years, the overall equipment wear rate of the country's combined
heat and power plants (CHP) began to decline, dropping to 61%. The
successful completion of all planned repairs has effectively
mitigated risks at nine power facilities, including plants in
Kentau, Ridder, and Ekibastuz.
Additionally, he highlighted that as part of the modernization
of heat networks, 323 kilometers of pipelines were replaced,
ensuring a more reliable heating supply for consumers and reducing
equipment wear to 52%. Furthermore, the frequency of accidents
within the heat networks has decreased by 25%.
