Astana, (IINA) - Kazakhstan is considering the possibility of building new generating facilities for exporting electricity to China, Novosti-Kazakhstan reported citing Baurzhan Sarsenov, director of the Electric Power Department at Kazakhstan’s energy ministry.
“As one of promising projects Kazakhstan and China are considering the possibility of building an electricity transmission line to central and eastern regions of China. It is possible to build new power plants in the Turgai and Ekibastuz regions in Kazakhstan in order to sell Kazakh electricity to China,” Sarsenov told a media briefing last week, The Times of Central Asia reported.
Sarsenov noted that Kazakhstan would also use the future CASA-1000 electricity transmission project for the export of its electricity to Afghanistan and Pakistan.
According to Kazakhstan Electricity Grid Operating Company (KEGOC), in 2014 electricity production in Kazakhstan amounted to 93.9 billion kWh, by 1.9 billion kWh or 2.1 percent more than in 2013 (91.972 billion kWh).
