Kazakhstan — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 275 energy assets in Kazakhstan across 10 layers — the 35th-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 106 power plants, 51 oil & gas fields and 45 pipelines. Operating generation capacity is 21.5 GW, led by coal at 61%. Refining capacity is about 316 kb/d.

The companies named on the most assets are QazaqGaz (25), National Company KazMunayGas JSC (14) and Qazaqstan Steel Group LLP (13), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Kazakhstan's mapped assets in service predate 1989 (median commissioning year of the 157 with a known date), 35 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Orken Atansor Mine, dating from 1932. 40+ projects are under construction or proposed, led by Hyrasia One wind farm (26.9 GW).
