🇰🇿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.

The regulator said it has been undertaking several campaigns to educate the investors to be vigilant while taking investment decisions based on stock tips. During the operations, Sebi officials seized various records and documents, including 34 mobile phones, six laptops, four desktops, four tablets, two hard drive disks and one pen drive from the custody of these persons. Although some channels have been removed, the curation process is considered opaque and insufficient by analysts. Markets continued to grapple with the economic and corporate earnings implications relating to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. “We have a ton of uncertainty right now,” said Stephanie Link, chief investment strategist and portfolio manager at Hightower Advisors. “We’re dealing with a war, we’re dealing with inflation. We don’t know what it means to earnings.” Artem Kliuchnikov and his family fled Ukraine just days before the Russian invasion.
