Kazakhstan is building a new energy corridor in the Atyrau region to connect the Western Kazakhstan power grid with the national Unified Electric Power System. The project, valued at over 200 billion tenge ($430 million), is scheduled for completion by the end of 2027.
Project Scope
The energy corridor will link the western region's grid to the national system, addressing long-standing connectivity issues. The project's cost exceeds 200 billion tenge, according to 24.kz. Construction is actively underway in the Atyrau region.
Strategic Importance
The corridor aims to stabilize electricity supply in western Kazakhstan, which relies on isolated power generation. It will enable energy exchange between regions and reduce dependence on local plants. The project supports national grid integration goals.
Green Energy Corridor Agreement
Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Azerbaijan signed an agreement at the COP 29 climate summit in Baku to establish a joint venture for the Green Energy Corridor project. The initiative aims to export renewable energy from Central Asia to Europe.
What's Next
Construction is expected to continue through 2027. It remains unclear how the project will be funded beyond current allocations or whether completion will meet the deadline.
