🇰🇿Kazakhstan to Power Up with Five New Hydro Plants
The region (East Kazakhstan) is set to expand its hydropower capabilities with plans to build five new hydroelectric power plants (HPPs) with a total capacity of 74.3 MW:
⏺Timeline for Construction 2027 — 1.4 MW plant in Katon-Karagay. 2029 — 50 MW on the Bukhtarma River, Altai district. 2030 — Two plants (4.5 MW and 2.4 MW) in Zaisan, plus a 16 MW in Markakol district.
Hydropower is key for the region, offering a reliable and flexible energy source. With limited solar and wind potential, hydro remains the go-to for sustainable energy:
⏺Current Status East Kazakhstan leads with seven existing HPPs, generating over 7.6 billion kWh in 2024. ⏺Future Potential Up to 95 small HPPs with 2 GW capacity are possible. ⏺Challenges Land allocation in forest areas and environmental concerns are being addressed to balance development with ecological preservation.
