Power Plants in Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan has 106 power plants mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 39th-largest fleet of the 155 countries that hold any, and 0.4% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 48 operating and 55 under construction or proposed. Operating generation capacity totals 21.5 GW across 48 utility-scale plants of 100 MW and above. The largest is Hyrasia One wind farm (26.9 GW).

The largest owner-operators are Samruk-Energo JSC (8), Almaty Power Plants JSC (7) and Eurasian Energy Corporation JSC (4) — Samruk-Energo JSC alone is named on 8% of them. Half of Kazakhstan's power plants in service predate 1980 (median commissioning year of the 48 with a known date), 15 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Oskemen hydroelectric plant, dating from 1952. 55 are in the pipeline, led by Hyrasia One wind farm (26.9 GW), proposed. They account for 39% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Kazakhstan.
