Tengrinews.kz – Electricity prices in Kazakhstan will increase from August 1, following a new directive signed by the acting Minister of Energy on July 29.
The order, titled “On the approval of ceiling tariffs for electric energy,” sets new maximum rates for several energy producers across the country.
Among the notable changes:
- Zhambyl GRES named after T.I. Batyrov: from 22.58 to 23.25 tenge per kWh
- Aktobe TPP: from 17.54 to 18.19 tenge
- Zhaiykteploenergo: from 13.25 to 13.95 tenge
- MAEK-Kazatomprom: from 22.16 to 23.26 tenge
- Kristall Management JSC: from 15.27 to 16.09 tenge
- Aktobe Rail and Beam Plant LLP: from 21.11 to 23.58 tenge
- Z-EnergoOrtalik: from 16.77 to 18.46 tenge
- Kyzylorda Heating and Power Center: from 12.10 to 13.13 tenge
- Batye Power LLP: from 15.89 to 17.63 tenge
- Karabatan Utility Solutions LLP: from 10.67 to 13.06 tenge
- OzenMunaiProm LLP: from 26.92 to 28.68 tenge
- TNK Kazchrome JSC: from 10.67 to 11.65 tenge
- SSGPO JSC: from 18.82 to 18.94 tenge
Additionally, a fixed tariff of 44.02 tenge per kWh has been introduced for the 63rd group of power-generating entities.
This increase comes amid ongoing government efforts to reform Kazakhstan’s utility pricing system. Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov previously confirmed that tariff adjustments will continue, emphasizing the need to gradually move toward market-based pricing.
According to the Prime Minister, the reforms aim to modernize the country's aging utility infrastructure — a priority following major system failures in cities like Ekibastuz and Ridder during the 2022–2023 winters. He also noted that future rate hikes would be carefully calibrated to minimize inflationary impact.
