Case study summary

Kazakhstan’s power industry has gone through dramatic changes in the last three decades. Its vertically integrated system has been unbundled into generation, transmission, and distribution. Now, it is time for its ageing electricity grids to modernise.

Creating an electric grid f or the 21st century has enormous benefits. It can help improve system efficiency, reduce costs for both electric consumers and companies, allow for the integration of renewable energy generation and distribution, and help lower carbon and other emissions.

The country’s recent collaboration with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) will enable it to upgrade select substations and facilitate the integration of large-scale electricity generation into a unified network.

Organisations involved: Asian Development Bank, Kazakhstan Electricity Grid Operating Company
