Kazakhstan energy profile – Analysis
Among EU4Energy focus countries, Kazakhstan is the second-largest energy consumer after Ukraine. Coal represents around half of Kazakhstan''s energy mix (50% in 2018), followed by oil and natural gas (both with 25% shares). Coal is mostly transformed into electricity and heat before reaching the final consumer.
Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan relied on fossil fuels for 87% of its electricity in 2023, falling only slightly from 90% in 2015. Its per capita emissions were more than two and a half times higher than the global average. Kazakhstan''s largest clean electricity source is hydro (8%).

6 FAQs about [Kazakhstan energy storage europe 2025]
Is Kazakhstan at a crossroads in its energy sector?
Kazakhstan, a vast and resource-rich nation in Central Asia, is at a crossroads in its energy sector. With a growing emphasis on sustainability and a need to align with global decarbonization efforts, the country is embarking on a transformative initiative that aims to ensure the security and reliability of its energy supply.
How much oil does Kazakhstan produce?
It produces more than twice as much crude oil as Azerbaijan but around half the natural gas produced in Turkmenistan. Kazakhstan’s total energy production (178 million tonnes of oil equivalent [Mtoe] in 2018) covers more than twice its energy demand. Kazakhstan is also a major energy exporter.
Does Kazakhstan need more energy?
As Kazakhstan expands renewables, more investment will be needed in flexible capacity such as gas-fired and hydro power plants to accommodate the variability of solar and wind output, the report says. Kazakhstan’s system currently relies significantly on electricity imports from Russia to cover imbalances and maintain frequency stability.
Are energy prices a social concern in Kazakhstan?
The report recognises that energy prices are a significant social concern in Kazakhstan. A rise in prices for liquified gas used in vehicles contributed to the unrest that gripped the country in January 2022. However, low prices have made it difficult to diversify the types of energy used for the domestic market and to promote energy efficiency.
Is Kazakhstan a major energy exporter?
Kazakhstan is also a major energy exporter. In 2018, it was the world’s 9th-largest exporter of coal, 9th of crude oil and 12th of natural gas. In 2018, Kazakhstan’s energy consumption (measured by total primary energy supply) was 76 Mtoe, comparable to consumption in the Netherlands (73 Mtoe).
What is Kazakhstan's energy mix?
Coal represents around half of Kazakhstan’s energy mix (50% in 2018), followed by oil and natural gas (both with 25% shares). Coal is mostly transformed into electricity and heat before reaching the final consumer. Coal fuels around 70% of electricity generation (in 2018), followed by natural gas (20% in 2018).
