During the meeting, the Committee reviewed data on the conformity by the participating countries of the OPEC+ Agreement for January-February 2025, noted the overall conformity for the OPEC+ countries, and discussed current trends in the global oil market.

<row _id="3"><ID>955533</ID><Title>Kazakhstan's statement on foreign media publications regarding the overproduction under the OPEC+ Agreement</Title><Body>The Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan, in response to publications by a number of foreign media, declares its full commitment to the OPEC+ Agreement and continues to work purposefully to fulfill its obligations, including compensation for the overproduced volumes.At the same time, the current overproduction in February is due to technological processes within the framework of the Future Expansion Project at the Tengiz oil field. This is a long-term project which is aimed at ensuring stable energy supplies, as well as fulfilling our medium-term obligations.
Minister of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan Almassadam Satkaliyev held talks with the major shareholders and subsoil users of the country. During the negotiations, the schedule for fulfilling obligations under the OPEC+ Agreement was confirmed, and measures were agreed to compensate for the overproduced volumes.
The Republic of Kazakhstan has taken the necessary measures to compensate for the temporary increase in production. In the near future, the volumes will be adjusted in such a way as to fully comply with the established limits. It should also be taken into account that Kazakhstan’s share in global oil production accounts for only 1.5% and about 3% within the OPEC+. This shows that Kazakhstan does not have a critical impact on the global balance of supply and demand, however, despite this, our country remains a reliable partner and fulfills its obligations.
Kazakhstan has consistently supported the stability of the global oil market and is fully committed to OPEC+ Agreements. We continue to work closely with our partners and are ready to further implement the agreed decisions. Any further plans for the development of Kazakhstan's oil industry will be implemented exclusively in strict accordance with the country's international obligations and taking into account the situation on the global market.</Body><Created Date>2025-03-12T20:15:00</Created Date><Hero Pic>/uploads/2025/3/12/2e15e8698bb2bf1f1f7fabc4743231a3_original.58850.jpg</Hero Pic><Slug>zayavlenie-kazahstana-na-publikacii-inostrannyh-smi-otnositelno-prevysheniya-obyazatelstv-v-ramkah-soglasheniya-opek</Slug><Hint /><Comments On>False</Comments On><Projects>[energo]</Projects><Directions /></row>

The reactor reached the specified power level, and all reactor systems operated as normal.
This is a further significant achievement of the Republic of Kazakhstan in strengthening nuclear nonproliferation regime. The project is a part of joint efforts between RK and USA to minimize the use of highly-enriched uranium (HEU) and reduction of risk of illicit proliferation of fissile nuclear materials that could be used to generate weapons of mass destruction.
After the successful first “operating” startup, the round table “Power Startup of IVG.1M Reactor with LEU fuel: Achievements and Prospects” was held with participation of Ministry of Energy RK, the Ambassador of Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Canada to RK, the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan Mr. Alan Hamson, Director for the Office of Conversion of the U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration Mr. Christopher Landers, representatives of the U.S. Embassy in Kazakhstan, scientific organizations of Kazakhstan and USA.
The Parties highlighted progress in the conversion of reactors and minimization of the use of highly-enriched uranium fuel in Kazakhstan, the effectiveness of the work performed and its high scientific-technical significance. The work performance on conversion allowed not only made it possible to obtain upgraded reactor with low-enriched fuel with improved output technical parameters, but also to considerably improve technical condition of reactor and auxiliary systems, as well as the infrastructure of “Baikal-1” complex, located at the STS. 
For reference.
Since 2010, specialists of Kazakhstan and USA have performed a large scope of work: calculation-analytical feasibility study of the reactor operation capabilities with a new core, production and testing of the experimental fuel, production, transportation and output control of standard LEU-fuel, realization of physical and power startup stages of the reactor.
The IVG.1M reactor is ready to continue experiments and renewed research works within the budgetary and commercial programs in the field of peaceful atom, for which leading international organizations are of interest.
At present, the National Nuclear Center of RK jointly with the U.S. Argonne National Laboratory are still studying the possibility of IGR reactor transfer to low-enriched fuel. The work on downblending of fresh HEU fuel of the IGR reactor at the Ulba Metallurgical Plant has already been completed, and preparations are ongoing to implement a similar task for the irradiated HEU fuel of this reactor.</Body><Created Date>2023-05-18T19:21:00</Created Date><Hero Pic>/uploads/2023/5/18/3051f96cbb24179cd72d17f562aec45d_original.137737.jpeg</Hero Pic><Slug>reaktor-ivg1m-nachal-rabotu-na-nizkoobogashchennom-uranovom-toplive</Slug><Hint /><Comments On>False</Comments On><Projects>[energo]</Projects><Directions>Development of nuclear energy (ID: 214)</Directions></row>

<row _id="33"><ID>361553</ID><Title>Руководство министерства энергетики РК ознакомилось с техническим состоянием тепловых сетей и ТЭЦ-5 города Кентау</Title><Body>22 апреля 2022 г. состоялась рабочая поездка Министра энергетики РК Болата Акчулакова в Туркестанскую область. 
В ходе поездки представители Министерства энергетики РК, акимата Туркестанской области посетили ТЭЦ-5 г. Кентау и ознакомились с текущим состоянием теплоцентрали. 
В ходе встречи с населением Туркестанской области глава профильного ведомства Болат Акчулаков рассказал о высокой изношенности Кентауской ТЭЦ, которая является единственным источником тепловой энергии в городе.
Максимальное потребление тепловой энергии города составляет 109 Гкал/ч, в том числе:
- многоквартирные жилые дома – 46 Гкал/ч (43%);
- социальные, коммерческие объекты и прочее в количестве 24 Гкал/ч (22%);
- частный сектор – 39 Гкал/ч (36%).
Кентауская ТЭЦ была введена в эксплуатацию в 1952 году, износ основного оборудования ТЭЦ-5 достиг 100%.
Из-за убыточного тарифа, который не покрывает расходы на производство и передачу тепловой энергии, местным исполнительным органом из бюджета ежегодно выделяются финансовые средства для подготовки к отопительному сезону. Однако выделяемые средства покрывают текущие ремонты оборудования электростанции и тепловых сетей.
Для подготовки ТЭЦ-5 и тепловых сетей к отопительному сезону 2021-2022 гг. из местного и областного бюджетов было выделено 1,9 млрд. тг, из которых 1,2 млрд. тг. – на приобретение угля, а на ремонт оборудования ТЭЦ-5 и тепловых сетей было выделено всего 757 млн. тг., при необходимых 3 млрд. 180 млн тг.
Недостаточность финансирования ремонтов и модернизации тепловых сетей привела к увеличению износа тепловых сетей на 9% за последние 4 года, с 47% до 56%.
По итогам встречи глава ведомства озвучил ряд конкретных поручений по всем проблемным вопросам ТЭЦ-5 и особо обратил внимание руководителей ГКП «Кентау сервис» на необходимость обеспечения нормативным запасом топлива для прохождения предстоящего отопительного сезона. 
- В целях стабильного теплоснабжения г. Кентау Акимату города необходимо принять решение по перспективам развития теплоснабжения города, - заключил министр. 
Ранее Акиматом г. Кентау был предложен альтернативный вариант развития системы теплоснабжения города, путем перевода действующих потребителей с ТЭЦ на автономное отопление с установкой индивидуальных газовых котлов в многоэтажных жилых домах. Предварительная стоимость альтернативного проекта составляла 24,2 млрд. тенге.
Также министр энергетики РК в ходе рабочей поездки побывал на АО «Кентауский трансформаторный завод» и ознакомился со всем технологическим процессом.
Завод известен как ведущий казахстанский производитель трансформаторного оборудования широкого применения, поставляемого для всех отраслей экономики, включая электроэнергетику Казахстана, а также осуществляет экспорт продукции на территорию СНГ и стран средней Азии.
За прошедшие года перечень продукций завода достиг более 400 наименований. Основной стратегией завода является поставка на рынок лучшей электротехнической продукции, соответствующей требованиям потребителей по качеству, цене, условиям поставки и предоставляемому сервису. Сегодня завод по праву является лидером отечественного электромашиностроения.
Также завод развивает импортозамещение с использованием новейшего высокотехнологичного оборудования ведущих западных и европейских фирм, которые по праву считаются одними из лучших в мире. Доля казахстанского содержания при изготовлении оборудования составляет 85%.</Body><Created Date>2022-04-23T17:52:00</Created Date><Hero Pic>/uploads/2022/4/23/0cb29be2ccb92723f918f78ee81bcfe1_original.101431.jpg</Hero Pic><Slug>rukovodstvo-ministerstva-energetiki-rk-oznakomilos-s-tehnicheskim-sostoyaniem-teplovyh-setey-i-tec-5-goroda-kentau</Slug><Hint /><Comments On>False</Comments On><Projects>[energo]</Projects><Directions>Electrical power industry (ID: 215)</Directions></row>

Currently, FGP-WPMP is 85% complete.
In the first half of 2021, TCO procured goods and services from Kazakhstani companies amounting to $1.7 billion, including $1.2 billion as part of FGP-WPMP implementation. Since the commencement of the project, TCO has spent more than $11.9 billion on Kazakhstani goods and services.
When complete, FGP-WPMP will increase oil production in Tengiz by 12 million tonnes per year, bringing TCO’s total production to 39 million tonnes of crude oil per year.
FGP-WPMP will introduce state-of-the-art technologies to the Tengiz oilfield, including an advanced Integrated Operations Control Center (IOCC). TCO is also expanding the capabilities of the newly implemented Virtual Plant that will help facilitate the full optimization of production data.
The Minister noted the importance of FGP-WPMP for the national economy and instructed TCO to further ramp up Kazakhstani content in procurement of goods, works and services.
“For many years TCO projects have been making a great economic impact involving not only the development of local businesses, but also the transfer of technologies, development of workforce competencies and upgrade of regional infrastructure,” noted Mr. M. Mirzagaliyev.
During the visit, Minister Mirzagaliyev recognized TCO’s strong performance during the pandemic period and noted that thanks to robust safeguards and safety measures in Tengiz the recent maintenance activities at the Second Generation Plant &amp; Sour Gas Injection facilities were successfully completed ahead of schedule. More than 6,400 employees worked 1.4 million working hours to safely complete these maintenance activities. 36 Kazakhstan companies were involved in providing services in different fields from engineering to repair and replacement of compressors and turbines.
In addition, measures taken to achieve a high level of vaccination of the workforce against COVID-19 helped ensure uninterrupted production operations. As of today, over 70,000 Tengiz employees (or more than 90%) have been fully vaccinated.
“We appreciate the Republic of Kazakhstan's (RoK) support for TCO's business activities. In particular, government support for the company’s voluntary vaccination program has helped TCO maintain safe and reliable operations and safely advance FGP-WPMP activities. It was a great pleasure and honor to host the Minister on this visit and showcase the tremendous talent and skills of our national workforce here at Tengiz.” – TCO General Director Kevin Lyon said.

<row _id="43"><ID>179257</ID><Title>Trade union: "There is a need to increase the salaries of power engineers In Kazakhstan»</Title><Body>Salaries at enterprises for the production and distribution of heat and electricity in the country have not changed for twenty years, Chairman of the Kazakhstan Branch Trade Union of Power Engineers Orazbek Bekbas said.
In his opinion, the energy industry of Kazakhstan in terms of salary and prestige of the profession closes the list not only among the CIS countries, but also production enterprises in the country. The salary of power engineers is 6.86% lower than in the country.
- As a result, this leads to an outflow of personnel to other, higher-paid industries, as well as to neighboring states. For comparison, the salary of energy workers in our neighbors is 21% higher than in the whole country. In the Republic of Belarus this figure is 28%, and in the Kyrgyz Republic – 44%, - noted Bekbas.
The expert fears that with the depreciation of fixed assets on average up to 60%, the turnover of personnel in the key industry for the country's economy threatens to stop power plants.
According to him, every year the number of applicants entering the heat and power specialties decreases. Enterprises are forced to retain specialists who have reached the maximum retirement age.
In addition, there is an increase in technological violations due to the deterioration of equipment (last year more than 4 thousand violations, 11% more than in 2019). According to Bekbas, increase in industrial accidents (22 cases), which resulted in 14 deaths, is alarming.
- Unfortunately, our repeated appeals to the government, the Parliament, the Ministries of Energy, Labor and Social Protection of the Population and the National Economy on the issue of increasing wages for energy workers are not resolved. The way out of the situation is seen in a simultaneous increase the wages of power engineers to the average level in the regions, which can only be done if the tariff is approved taking into account this level, - the head of the industry trade union said.

<row _id="44"><ID>179250</ID><Title>Power engineers are concerned about the outflow of specialists to other industries</Title><Body>The low level of wages in the electric power industry leads to an outflow of specialists to other industries, said Vice-Minister of Energy Kairat Rakhimov.
- The electricity and heat generation sector is a very complex process that requires highly qualified specialists. The specifics of the industry imply special education, even in the lowest positions. Today, we are seeing a systematic outflow to other industries and neighboring states, - Rakhimov said during the briefing at the Central Communications Service.
He specified that the main reason for the departure of specialists is the low level of salary in the electric power industry. At the same time, the consequences of the lack of specialists directly affect the operation of power plants. This leads to the failure of the deadlines for the delivery, commissioning of facilities and, in general, the quality of repair campaigns.
If in 2016 more than 26 thousand people from production personnel worked at the main power plants of Kazakhstan, then by the end of 2020 the number does not exceed 23 thousand people, despite the increase in production volumes by 15%.
In the near future, the main priority in the management system of energy – producing organizations will be qualified personnel and maintaining such qualifications at a high level. To do this, it is necessary to take measures to develop appropriate programs and systematically increase wages, -  the Vice Minister added.

<row _id="45"><ID>179245</ID><Title>Power plant fuel and repair costs increase in Kazakhstan</Title><Body>In 2020 and since the beginning of 2021, the costs of energy-producing organizations have increased, said Vice-Minister of Energy Kairat Rakhimov.
In 2020, the cost of Karazhyr coal increased by 8.6%, and Bogatyr Komir coal by 9.9%. Transportation costs increased by 7%.
- Energy-producing organizations have debts to coal mines in the total amount of about 2 billion tenge, and gas enterprises of about 4 billion tenge, - Rakhimov said during the briefing in Central Communications Service.
With the growth of "green" energy, the amount of electricity that traditional power plants are required to buy from renewable energy facilities has increased. According to Rakhimov, in 2021 the volume of electricity purchased from RES increased by 68% compared to 2020, the costs of renewable energy increased by 49%.
The costs of mandatory payments to the budget increased due to an increase in the monthly calculation index (from 2 778 tenge in 2020 to 2 917 tenge in 2021).
The Vice-Minister also noted the dynamics of changes in mandatory payments to the budget by power plants. Thus, the payment of taxes in 2016 amounted to 10.5 billion tenge, by the end of 2021 the amount will exceed 14 billion tenge. Environmental payments have almost doubled since 2016, from 7.4 billion tenge to the expected 13.2 billion tenge by the end of 2021.
There is an increase in the cost of repair work due to the increase in prices for equipment imported from outside the country.
The marginal tariffs for electric energy production in accordance with the legislation are set for 7 years. Energy-producing organizations have the right to apply for an adjustment of the marginal tariffs in the event of an actual increase in the cost of producing electric energy.
Based on the above-mentioned reasons, in September 2020, 37 energy-producing organizations of 45 submitted applications to the Ministry of Energy to review the marginal tariffs for electricity generation.
According to the submitted applications, the growth of marginal tariffs was predicted at the level of 36%. The validity of the submitted applications was analyzed for more than six months.
As a result of the work carried out and discussions, the share of  increase in the declared levels of marginal tariffs of stations was reduced by more than two times.
The corresponding draft order was published on the website "Open NLA" on March 5, 2021. The order was discussed with the National Chamber of Entrepreneurs "Atameken" and expert organizations accredited in the Ministry of Energy. The draft order was considered at the Public Council, and was also discussed on the electronic platform of the portal "Open NLA".
According to the results of the work carried out, the adjustment of tariffs was made on March 30 of this year by the corresponding order of the Minister of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
This order will enter into force on April 1, 2021. The average increase of marginal tariffs of energy-producing organizations in Kazakhstan is projected at 15% level.

<row _id="46"><ID>179242</ID><Title>Kazakhstan revised tariffs for electricity production</Title><Body>Starting from April 1, the marginal tariffs of thermal power plants will increase by an average of 15% to finance their modernization, Deputy Energy Minister Kairat Rakhimov said.
The marginal tariffs of 37 of 45 energy-producing organizations (EPO) in Kazakhstan will be increased from April 1, 2021. According to the submitted applications, the growth of marginal tariffs was predicted at the level of 36%. The validity of the submitted applications was analyzed for more than six months.
As a result of the work carried out and discussions, the share of the increase in the declared levels of marginal tariffs of stations was reduced by more than two times.
- When considering them, the ministry applied an individual approach to each case. Applications requiring a timely decision were taken into account. The average increase of marginal tariffs of energy-producing organizations in Kazakhstan is projected at 15%, - Rakhimov said during a briefing at the Central Communications Service.
According to Rakhimov, the most of the energy sources of Kazakhstan were put into operation in the 60-70s of the last century. By the end of 2020, the depreciation of energy assets in Kazakhstan is 53%. Accordingly, the main costs in the generation sector were directed to maintaining them in working order - the level of profitability of most stations is lower than the actual costs.
- particular concern is the quality of the repair companies carried out at power plants, due to underfunding. Unfortunately, the permissible levels of spending on repair campaigns, included in  marginal tariffs, do not fully cover the necessary needs, - Rakhimov stressed.
For this reason, about 2,000 MW are constantly under repair and unavailable for electricity generation for various reasons, which is comparable to the total consumption of three southern regions - Zhambyl, Turkestan and Kyzylorda.
Due to underfunding, there is an increase in the number of accidents and technological outages. In 2020, 4 458 technological violations were committed in the Unified Electric Power System of Kazakhstan (11% increase compared to 2019). Every major technological failure is a risk of an accident of the entire energy system of Kazakhstan.
Timely adjustment of the marginal tariffs at electric power stations will allow for high-quality work on their modernization, as well as timely and fully carry out repairs for the successful passage of the autumn-winter period of 2021-2022 and the reduction of emergency situations.
In addition, the revision of tariffs will help to save about 23 thousand jobs of production personnel of 45 energy-producing organizations, on which the smooth operation and supply of the country and consumers of Kazakhstan with electricity depend.

<row _id="48"><ID>177447</ID><Title>Kazakhstan heads the working group of the Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization</Title><Body>This year marks the 30th anniversary of the closure of the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site. Exactly 30 years ago, the First President of Kazakhstan - Elbasy Nursultan Nazarbayev signed a very important historical document - decree on the closure of the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site.
Our country was one of the first among the CIS countries to join the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty in 1996, which is one of the cornerstones in the system of international security and nuclear non-proliferation.
The international community, recognizing Kazakhstan's contribution to strengthening the non-proliferation regime of weapons of mass destruction, has chosen Erlan Batyrbekov, Director General of the National Nuclear Center of the Republic of Kazakhstan, as the Chairman of the working group of the Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO). The appointment ceremony was held online with the participation of representatives from more than 150 countries.
CTBTO is an international organization that will monitor compliance with the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty.
"Of course, the chairmanship of the CTBTO working group is a high assessment of our country's course aimed at strengthening the non – proliferation regime of weapons of mass destruction", Erlan Batyrbekov explained.
Over the years of independence Kazakhstan, having abandoned the world's fourth-largest nuclear arsenal, has carried out large-scale activities to eliminate the infrastructure and consequences of nuclear weapons tests, has gained unique experience in reducing the global threat, strengthening the non-proliferation regime of weapons of mass destruction.
Kazakhstan has provided a strong support to the CTBTO and demonstrated its determination to achieve its goals. For example, the active cooperation of the National Nuclear Center and the CTBTO in the creation of an International Monitoring System – the IMS - is noted. In particular, under the operational management of the National Nuclear Center of the Republic of Kazakhstan, there are four seismic and one infrasound MSM stations, as well as the Kazakhstan National Data Center – KNDC - are functioning. Currently, the first radionuclide monitoring station for noble gases in Central Asia is being created.
Kazakhstan's participation in the work of the CTBTO Preparatory Commission as chair of the group is a good opportunity to disseminate Kazakhstan's unique experience, proven and time-tested methods of reducing the global threat, which will be another significant contribution of our country to the process of establishing a universal ban on nuclear testing.

<row _id="49"><ID>175900</ID><Title>Nurlan Nogayev thanked ordinary power engineers for their hard work during the elimination of accidents</Title><Body>On March 18, during the meeting with the participation of the Minister of Energy Nurlan Nogayev, the results of the work of the commission on the investigation of technological violations that occurred in the period from January 10 to 17 this year in the Atyrau power plant were announced, the press service of the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan reports.
During the investigation, the commission found that in adverse weather conditions on January 10-11, 15-17, 2021, technological violations on the high-voltage equipment of the KEGOS JSC branch of Western MES occurred under the influence of protections due to "corona discharges", due to unsatisfactorily low insulation resistance of the equipment. Atmospheric moisture during fog and rain was deposited on the surface of the insulators, which resulted in a conductive layer, which caused numerous and widespread "corona discharges" at substations.
The development of technological violations on January 10-11 this year occurred during "the landing" of voltage in the Atyrau power plant and, in this regard, the disconnection of two turbine generators of the GTES power plant of Karabatan Utility Solutions LLP from technological protections. Due to the failure to restore generation from the GTES power plant of Karabatan Utility Solutions LLP and the occurrence of a power shortage in the power unit, the frequency was reduced to 48.9 Hz, which led to the operation of frequency prevention automation with the disconnection of the load of consumers in the amount of 97 MW, including Atyrau region-70 MW, Mangystau region-27 MW.
Due to the failure of 220 kV Inder-Atyrau overhead line, the inability to provide electricity flows from the Ural power center, the lack of "hot standby capacities" at the Atyrau CHPP and MAEK-Kazatomprom power plants, and the limited capacity of electricity flows from the Mangystau power center, there were massive interruptions in the power supply to consumers of the Atyrau and Mangystau regions.
At the same time, the commission identified systemic shortcomings in the operation of high-voltage equipment of the branch of JSC "KEGOS" Western MES, which contributed to the occurrence of technological violations.
Based on the results of the Commission's work, the main organizational and technical measures were developed to prevent such technological violations.
In addition, recommendations were developed to improve the reliability of power supply to Atyrau and Mangystau power centers.
During the meeting, problematic issues in the energy supply of the regions were considered, and as a result of the meeting, the Minister of Energy gave specific instructions to the energy enterprises of JSC "KEGOS", LLP "Karabatan Utility Solutions", JSC "Atyrau Thermal Power Plant", JSC "Atyrau Zharyk" to ensure reliable and uninterrupted supply of electric energy to consumers of Atyrau and Mangystau regions.
- I want to express my gratitude to the ordinary power engineers, those who helped to eliminate the consequences of the accident. The cause of the accident was a combination of a number of factors based on improper operation and not timely measures taken by the western branch of the MEA of KEGOC JSC, and weather events intensified and served as a catalyst for emergency violations.  We need to learn a lesson from this, - Nurlan Nogayev said. - Our task is to prevent a repeat of this in the future and to ensure an uninterrupted supply of electricity to the population.
By the way, earlier in the Atyrau region, 50 complete transformer substations were purchased for installation in the housing and utilities networks, at the moment "Atyrau Zharyk" is engaged in their installation. This measure will help to stabilize the supply of electricity in the region.
The Minister also gave instructions to ANPZ LLP, the Caspian Pipeline Consortium, Tengizchevroil LLP, KEGOC JSC, akimats of Atyrau and Mangystau regions to ensure stable power supply to production processes.
- Despite accidents, production processes should not stop. The Committee for Nuclear and Energy Supervision and Control has identified a number of shortcomings that enterprises need to eliminate. Connect the system operator as consultants, use all your necessary reserves. Treat this with maximum responsibility, - the Minister concluded.

<row _id="51"><ID>172711</ID><Title>The oil accounting system in Kazakhstan will start working in 2021</Title><Body>This year will be a special year for the oil and gas industry of Kazakhstan – the Ministry of Energy (hereinafter – the Ministry) together with the Ministry of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan (hereinafter – MDDIAI) on the basis of JSC "NIT" launches an information system for accounting oil and gas condensate (hereinafter – ISAO) in full mode. The mechanism will allow to automate the process of collecting, processing, storing and using data on the amount of crude oil and gas condensate in circulation, prepared for delivery to consumer.
ISAO is created as an effective tool for accounting oil and gas condensate starting from the preparation, transportation, storage, shipment, sale, import and export outside of Kazakhstan. This will also lead to the reduction of human errors when submitting reports and the reduction in the share of paper document flow.
The system of accounting for oil and gas condensate will be integrated with the existing information systems of enterprises operating in the field of oil production, transportation and processing. All data on volumes of production, producing, preparation, processing, transportation, storage, sale, shipment, losses, import and export from Kazakhstan will be transmitted to the information system. Companies may also use the installed metering devices as internal controls or for other purposes.
The authorized body will be able to quickly make decisions at the state level based on operational data, predict the turnover of oil and gas condensate, automatically calculate the material balance and generate reports based on data obtained from metering devices.
At the same time, to obtain point information, all data is received from each organization separately, and reports are generated depending on the activity of enterprise. For example, oil transportation organizations transmit reports on receiving oil from producing organizations, on delivery to oil refining organizations, and on delivery for export.
Now the system has been launched in pilot mode and 3 oil transportation organizations - KazTransOil, Munaitas and  Kazakhstan-China Pipeline - are connected to it. "Caspian Pipeline Consortium" is in the process of connecting. 
This year, it is planned to connect to the system a number of organizations that provide 60% of the total oil production of Kazakhstan. In total, in 2021-2022, 3 oil refineries, 16 mini refineries, 4 oil transportation organizations and 100 subsurface users will send data to ISAO.</Body><Created Date>2021-03-12T11:30:00</Created Date><Hero Pic>/uploads/2021/3/12/5e91a16469e33458512398ee5c96f9cb_original.41290.jpg</Hero Pic><Slug>sistema-ucheta-nefti-v-kazahstane-zarabotaet-v-2021-godu</Slug><Hint /><Comments On>False</Comments On><Projects>[energo]</Projects><Directions>Subsoil use (ID: 213)</Directions></row>

<row _id="53"><ID>157794</ID><Title>The auction system has made it possible to achieve a significant reduction in prices for renewable energy sources</Title><Body>As the Minister of Energy Nurlan Nogayev said during the Government meeting, international auctions in electronic format with a total capacity of 1.5 GW were held for renewable energy projects in 2018 - 2020.
For 3 years, 25 auctions were successfully held. The auction was attended by 172 companies from 12 countries, such as: Kazakhstan, China, Russia, Turkey, Germany, France, Bulgaria, Italy, the United Arab Emirates, the Netherlands, Malaysia, Spain.
The auction system made it possible to achieve a significant reduction in prices for "green" energy. The maximum reduction in tariffs for individual projects was 64% for solar power plants, 30% for wind power plants and 19% for hydroelectric power plants.
As a result of the auction, 58 companies signed contracts with the single buyer of renewable energy (Settlement and Financial Center) for 15 years for a total capacity of 1 219 MW. Since the operation of the Settlement and Financial Center, about 626 billion tenge has been attracted to the renewable energy sector and about 81 billion tenge in taxes will be paid from the constructed facilities.
The Minister noted that in recent years, work has been carried out to attract investment to the sector by signing a number of agreements and memorandums with international financial institutions and organizations in the amount of about 240 billion tenge (or 613 million US dollars).
Investors from 10 countries of the world, as well as major financial organizations such as the EBRD, the ADB, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, and the DBK are currently working in the "green" energy sector. Also, major oil companies, such as Eni, Total-Iren, which have already implemented projects in Kazakhstan and have plans for further development of renewable energy projects, came as investors.

<row _id="54"><ID>157790</ID><Title>The share of renewable energy in Kazakhstan will reach 6 by 2025%</Title><Body>2020 became a milestone period for implementation of the renewable energy indicator in the Concept of Kazakhstan's transition to a "green" economy.
Three percent share in the total volume of electricity production at the end of 2020 is fully provided. The Minister of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan Nurlan Nogayev announced this during  the Government's meeting.
As N. Nogaev noted, the documents of the state planning system set the following goals:
Increase the share of renewable energy in total electricity production to 6% in 2025; - by 2030 - 10%; - by 2050 renewable and alternative energy sources should account for at least half of total energy consumption.
- Thanks to the created conditions, renewable energy is steadily growing. Over the past 6 years, the installed capacity of renewable energy facilities has increased almost 10 times – from 178 MW in 2014 to 1635 in 2020" the minister said.
Currently, there are 116 RES facilities in the republic with an installed capacity of 1 685 MW. The generation of green energy at the end of 2020 amounted to 3.24 billion kWh. In 2021, it is planned to put into operation 23 RES facilities with a capacity of 381.1 MW.
Nurlan Nogayev stressed that the development of the renewable energy market in Kazakhstan will continue with the aim of sustainable development and diversification of the energy sector.
The placement of renewable energy sources in the regions is based on the resource potential, electricity demand, the maximum capacity for the areas of the Unified Electric power system and with the readiness of the infrastructure. This makes it possible not to exceed the limits of renewable energy capacity for reliable operation of the Unified Electric Power System of Kazakhstan.

<row _id="67"><ID>124098</ID><Title>Kazakhstan plans to adopt a bill stimulating the construction of maneuvering capacities in the electric power industry</Title><Body>This was told by the Minister of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan Nurlan Nogayev, during his working trip to Almaty region, the press service of the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan reported.
During the visit, Nurlan Nogayev got acquainted with the work of  solar and hydroelectric power plant in the Kapchagai reservoir area, visited construction site of a wind power station in the Shelek village and Moinak hydroelectric power plant and discussed with the responsible persons for energy supply of Almaty and Almaty region.
Answering journalists' questions, Nurlan Nogayev spoke about how the government of Kazakhstan intends to stimulate the construction of maneuvering capacities in the electric power industry.
As you know, today in Kazakhstan, a surplus of electric power is caused by a shortage of maneuverable capacities. Electricity consumption during the day is uneven, with an increase in the evening hours and a decrease at night, requiring an operational variable work of power plants. The existing regulation capabilities of the existing power plants are insufficient, and therefore the system operator is forced to use the regulation of the Russian energy system.
- The Ministry has initiated a number of amendments to existing laws, which are currently under discussion in Parliament. Among other things, these changes will stimulate investors for the construction of renewable energy sources (RES) by extending the terms of contracts to purchase electricity, centralized purchase and sale of flood electricity through the financial settlement center (FSC), providing financial support to FSC from the government to reduce investors' risk and lower prices for electronic trading for RES, - said Nurlan Nogayev.
- Development of maneuvering capacities to attract them to the regulation of production-consumption imbalances will allow to  redirect the purchase a part of services to compensate deviations to power plants in Kazakhstan. The selection of projects for the creation of maneuvering generation will be carried out through the use of auction selection, which will give impetus to the construction of such sources, to select the most effective projects with a minimum impact on prices for end consumers. These measures will increase the investment attractiveness of the renewable energy sector of Kazakhstan, and will also have a positive effect on the country's energy system.

We plan to extend the ban on diesel imports until April next year, except winter and arctic fuel. I want to note that the final decision on this issue has not been made yet, but there are prerequisites for overstocking the domestic market with diesel fuel, - Nurlan Nogayev said. In General, I want to note that thanks to the leadership of the country and the government, during the pandemic state bodies took measures to avoid overstocking of storage facilities. Thanks to this, we avoided the shutdown of our plants and were able to maintain a balance in the domestic fuel market.</Body><Created Date>2020-11-02T10:18:00</Created Date><Hero Pic>/uploads/2020/11/2/714ccd8c6073f88fc8856d0003ddeb03_original.121305.jpg</Hero Pic><Slug>v-kazahstane-planiruyut-prodlit-zapret-na-import-dizelnogo-topliva</Slug><Hint /><Comments On>False</Comments On><Projects>[energo]</Projects><Directions>Oil industry (ID: 179)</Directions></row>

To date, a level of oil product reserves in the domestic market is at a fairly high level, and the receipt of additional volumes of imported fuel may negatively affect the domestic oil refining, namely, it may lead to:
- reduce the volume of oil products shipment from Kazakhstan refineries;
- overstocking of factory tank farms, as well as storage bases of all oil depots in the country;
- as a result, to forced reduction in oil refining, which will lead to  production decrease of other valuable types of petroleum products, such as diesel and aviation fuel.
Approval of the Order will ensure a comfortable balance between the volumes of produced and consumed petroleum products.

Timely approval by the Minister of Energy of Kazakhstan the Order dated March 27, 2020 "On some issues of supply of petroleum products to the Republic of Kazakhstan from the Russian Federation" allowed to ensure a comfortable balance between the amount produced and consumed petroleum products (expiration of the order June of this year).
At the same time, now the level of oil product reserves in the domestic market is currently at a fairly high level, and if additional volumes of imported fuel are received, it may negatively affect domestic oil refining. Namely, it may lead to:
- reduce the volume of oil products shipped from Kazakhstan refineries;
- overstocking of factory tank farms, as well as storage bases of all oil depots in the country;
- as a result, the forced reduction of oil refining, which will lead to a decrease in the production of other valuable types of petroleum products, such as diesel and aviation fuel.
To ensure the country's energy security, the Ministry of Energy has introduced a ban on the import of gasoline, aviation and diesel fuel to the Republic of Kazakhstan by rail, road and pipeline transport.
It is worth noting that this measure is temporary and will be in effect until September 1, 2020.

<row _id="94"><ID>77033</ID><Title>There was an adjustment of marginal tariffs of energy-producing organizations in Kazakhstan</Title><Body>The tariff was increased for 34, 9 remained at the same level, and for one was reduced out of 44 energy-producing organizations in Kazakhstan. The revision of the marginal tariffs for electric energy will save about 27 thousand jobs, Director of the Department of electric power development of the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan Aidos Daribayev said at a briefing in the Central Communications Service today, June 30.
As Daribayev noted in his speech, in 2020 the expenses of energy-producing organizations increased for reasons beyond their control (the cost of purchasing fuel, the volume of purchasing RES, payments to the budget and system operator services).  Meanwhile, the level of station wear increases from year to year and is currently about 60%. In this connection, the quality of electricity supply is put at risk.
This situation forces Kazakh consumers to purchase services for regulating electric capacity from neighboring countries in the amount of more than 8 billion tenge per year, which also affects the final price of electric energy. In this regard, energy-producing organizations in Kazakhstan in April submitted applications for adjusting the margina tariffs into groups. When considering them, the Ministry applied an individual approach to each case.
The Ministry is responsible for approving the marginal tariffs to product electric energy by energy-producing organizations for a seven-year period, with the right to apply for adjustments when costs increase. The Ministry of national economy is engaged in adjusting the marginal tariffs for the population, - said the Director of the Department of development of electric power industry. According to forecasts, if the EPO marginal tariffs change, the average receipt for payment of electric energy for end users of statistical average apartments may increase no earlier than the fourth quarter by no more than 200 tenge per month to current accounts.
Aidos Daribayev noted that the cost of electricity does not cover the necessary costs, at the moment energy-producing organizations are diverting money intended for modernization to cover current losses. Fot today EPO owe coal companies more than 3 billion tenge, although previously this figure did not exceed 200 million tenge annually. There is also a debt to gas companies in the amount of 6 billion tenge.
Timely adjustment of marginal tariffs for electric power stations will allow to start work on their modernization, for repair companies to successfully pass the upcoming autumn-winter period and reduce accidents, starting from this year.
Besides, the revision of marginal tariffs for electric energy will save about 27 thousand jobs of 44 energy-producing organizations. These are the people on whose work the uninterrupted supply of the country with electric energy depends, " Aidos Daribayev stressed.

<row _id="95"><ID>76707</ID><Title>Energy - producing organizations in Kazakhstan have submitted an application to adjust the marginal tariff</Title><Body>Electric power industry in Kazakhstan needs to update existing assets. Due to the electric capacity market introduced in 2019, the assets of the stations have started to be updated. However, according to the forecast revenues received from the electric capacity market, do not allow to fully implement the modernization and upgrade already completed its fleet life of the equipment stations, the press service of ME RK reports.
The level of station wear increases from year to year. In this connection, the quality of electricity supply is put at risk.
The current level of marginal tariffs of energy-producing organizations (hereinafter referred to as EPO) does not fully cover the costs of EPO, and stations are forced to allocate part of the revenue from the electric power market to cover current costs.
The wear and tear of the equipment is about 60%. This fact is confirmed by the cases of emergency disposal of power capacity, reducing the quality of electricity supply of consumers and increase risks based on the unified power system of Kazakhstan from the neighbouring countries.
In 2019, due to capacity wear, insufficient maneuverability and numerous emergencies, Kazakhstan was forced to purchase services for regulating electric capacity from neighboring countries in the amount of more than 8 billion tenge, which ultimately has a negative impact on the tariff of Kazakhstan's consumers.
If the situation persists, the funds that can be used in the energy sector of Kazakhstan for the reconstruction, modernization and renovation of stations will also go to neighboring countries.
When changing the EPO marginal tariffs, the average receipt for payment of electric energy for end users for statistical average apartments may increase no earlier than the fourth quarter by no more than 200 tenge per month to current accounts.
In its turn, it will be possible to fully use the amount of investment in the modernization of power plants, which should amount to more than 70 billion tenge this year.
The price of electric energy of energy-producing organizations is established according to the contract between the supplier and the consumer, including with energy-supplying organizations, but not above the marginal tariff established by the state body.
Tariffs for electric energy are set for 7 years in accordance with the Law, and every year power plants see an increase in the cost of producing electric energy. In the event of an actual increase in the costs of energy-producing organizations for the production of electric energy, the EPO has the right to submit an application to the authorized body for an adjustment of the marginal tariff.
Since the beginning of 2020, EPO independent costs for:
purchase of fuel (increase of 9.9%), electricity from renewable energy sources (increase renewable energy tariff by 9.3%, the volume of mandatory purchase of renewable energy increased twice); mandatory payments to the budget (increase depends on the growth of the MCI); regulated services of the system operator (increase of 12%) have increased.

In accordance with the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On gas and gas supply" (hereinafter - the Law), in the Republic of Kazakhstan the marginal prices for liquefied petroleum gas sold as part of the plan for the supply of liquefied petroleum gas to the domestic market of the Republic of Kazakhstan outside electronic trading platforms are subject to state regulation (hereinafter - the marginal price).   
The marginal  price is approved by the Ministry of energy in coordination with the Ministry of national economy a quarterly, and be valid throughout the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The marginal  price from the 1st quarter of 2018 to the second quarter of 2020 remained at the level of 38 701,67 tg/t excluding VAT.
The marginal  price for the 3rd quarter of 2020 is set at the level of 28000 tg/t excluding VAT. Previously, the marginal price at the level of 28000 tg/t excluding VAT was set in the 1st quarter of 2017.
At the same time, in order to minimize the consequences for domestic producers in the event of an excessive fall in prices on foreign markets that affect the level of the marginal prices approved by the Ministry, appropriate rules to prevent the marginal price from falling below the level of the price set in the 1st quarter of 2017 are provided, i.e. 28000 tenge/t excluding VAT.
In turn, reducing the cost of wholesale sales of liquefied petroleum gas will help reduce the cost of:
- retail sale of liquefied petroleum gas through group tank installations to domestic consumers;
- sales of liquefied petroleum gas in household cylinders to the citizens;
- sales of liquefied petroleum gas through gas stations (avtogaz);
- sales of liquefied petroleum gas to industrial consumers.
Accordingly, this will give a positive multiplier effect and lead to the reduction of cost part of consumers, which is especially important in the recovery period after the emergency.

However, earlier the mechanism of gas supply to these projects didn't set, the press service of ME RK reports.
The Ministry constantly conducts a systematic work on transition from the raw material orientation of the oil and gas industry to the creation of petrogaschemical plants that produce products with high added value.
Natural gas is the most valuable raw material for gas chemistry. Increasing the degree of recovery and efficient use of all valuable gas components gives life to whole classes of new chemical materials.
It should be noted that gas chemistry products are a valuable export product, which is more profitable to trade than just gas. After four or five stages of gas processing (for example, gas→ethane→ethylene→polyethylene→products made of polyethylene), the cost of the final product increases by about 5-6 times.
One of the key issues is the providing with raw materials.
In order to resolve this issue, amendments were made to the Law "On gas and gas supply" (Law No. 297-VI of 30.12.2019 "On amendments and additions to certain legislative acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan on subsoil use, gas and gas supply").
In the framework of the implementation of the Law, by order No. 165 of the Minister of energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated April 29, 2020  the Rules of forming a list of investment projects on production of petrogaschemical products were approvedThe Rules provide a mechanism for evaluating the effectiveness of investment projects from the point of view of the state. According to the mechanism, projects will be evaluated on a point system based on criteria that characterize their advantages based on macroeconomic, social, environmental and technical indicators.
The production of a basic gas chemical products with high added value will serve as a solid basis for the development of deep processing in the oil and gas industry, which corresponds to our strategy of technological development.

According to Nurlan Nogayev participation in OPEC+ agreement is aimed at restoring the balance of supply and demand, restoring oil prices. In order to avoid the risk of overstocking of oil in oil storage facilities, the Ministry of Energy decided to limit production at medium-sized, large and giant fields. There was a fair distribution of obligations to reduce oil production for all types of fields.
-If we did not reduce oil production, this could lead to overstocking of oil storage facilities in the second quarter of 2020, to a shock stop of production at some fields. Thanks to participation in the transaction, all market players came to a controlled and smooth reduction of oil production. We carried out the reduction as painlessly as possible, avoiding a complete shutdown of production at some fields, - said Nogaev.
In May-June 2020, OPEC+ agreement member countries plan to reduce total oil production by 9.7 million barrels/day. Kazakhstan has committed to reduce production by 390 thousand barrels per day.
The average daily oil production (without condensate) in Kazakhstan on May 25 is 177.8 thousand tons of oil, which indicates the fulfillment of the obligations of OPEC+ deal.

According to the Minister, in order to support the population, industrial consumers and entrepreneurs of the Republic of Kazakhstan the Ministry of energy contucted work to prevent increasing the marginal prices for the wholesale trade of commercial gas.
It was decided to keep the marginal prices for the wholesale trade of commercial gas for the regions at the current level.
The marginal prices for the wholesale trade of commercial gas approved at the current level will lead to restraining retail prices for commercial gas for citizens, small and medium businesses, budget organizations, and as a multiplier effect contributes to restraining tariffs for fuel and energy companies that generate heat and produce electricity.
Earlier from January 1, 2019 the Ministry lowered the marginal prices for the wholesale trade of commercial gas in the range of 3.8 to 17.5% depending on the region, which allowed reducing the final prices for electricity and heat in almost all gasified regions of the country.
The marginal prices for the wholesale trade of commercial gas for the period from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020 approved by the Ministry, were also kept at the current level.

According to Magauov, the Ministry of Energy has collected and is working with interested state agencies on a package of proposals for measures to support the oil and gas industry.  This package includes 60 items of tax, environmental and other administrative measures.
Based on the results of the review, the state authorities supported measures to:
1) accelerated consideration at the Interdepartmental Commission of newly received applications of subsoil users to classify deposits as low-profitable and high-viscosity, in order to obtain benefits;
2) granting subsoil users the right to attract suppliers of procurement of goods, works and services without holding tenders at exploration stage (except for acquisition by subsoil users and their contractors of procurement of goods, works and services used in conducting operations on trial exploitation of a deposit (a set of deposits) of hydrocarbons during the exploration period;
3) working out mechanisms to reduce risks of good faith subsoil users on holding liable for violations by their contractors the Rules of procurement of goods, works and services by subsoil users and their contractors used in operations for the exploration or production of hydrocarbons and uranium;
4) consideration of adequate measures of economic incentives in connection with the planned adoption of a new Environmental code, which entails significant costs for enterprises to meet the new requirements;
5) providing for the adjustment of existing environmental protection action Plans for 2020 with the possibility of postpone to the next year;
6) postponing the implementation of natural management conditions included in the current permits for emissions into the environment until the end of 2021.
7) postponing Work programs - the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan has instructed the Ministry of Energy together with interested ministries to work out the possibility of postponing the terms of fulfillment of contract and license obligations on requests from subsoil users for 2020, as well as work programs for subsequent years without applying penalties.
- Some of the proposed measures were already met at the time of discussion or were understood by the relevant state agencies. For the remaining items, work to analyze the effectiveness and relevance of the crisis situation in the oil and gas industry is underway. Measures that are not anti-crisis, contradicting the provisions of the Code "On subsoil and subsoil use", as well as other justifications of state bodies were not supported, - said Magauov.

According to Magauov in order to restore stability in the world oil market and oil prices, the OPEC+ member countries agreed to reduce production.
In May-June 2020, the countries will reduce their total production by 9.7 million barrels per day or by 23% relative to the initial level, then in July-December 2020 this restriction will be relaxed up to 7.7 million barrels per day or 18 %, and in the period from January 2021 to April 2022 the level of restrictions will be 5.8 million barrels per day or 14 % of the base level, - said Magauov. - The volume of Kazakhstan's obligations in this agreement is 390 thousand barrels per day. The Government of the Republic has made a corresponding decision to reduce production.
As Magauov noted, the OPEC+ agreement is necessary to exclude overstocking of oil storage facilities, because OPEC has worsened the forecast of a decline in global oil demand due to the coronavirus pandemic: in the second quarter of 2020 the demand is expected to fall up to 81.3 million barrels per day.
All market players were sympathetic to the need to reduce oil production, because this measure will give a positive impetus to oil industry development - summed up Magauov.

1. Cancellation of the ban for the export of petroleum products by road transport outside of the Republic of Kazakhstan (effective from April 10, 2020);
2. Cancellation of the ban for the export of petroleum products outside the customs union states (effective from April 6, 2020);
3. Exemption from payment of the excises for producers of excisable goods for gasoline and diesel fuel sold for export (valid from March 27 to December 31);
4. Introduction of a ban for rail deliveries of gasoline, diesel and aviation fuel from Russia to Kazakhstan (valid from March 30 to July 1);
5. Zero rates of export customs duties to petroleum products, including to gasoline, diesel fuel and fuel oil (valid from April 1 to January 1, 2021);
6. The decree of the government of the Republic of Kazakhstan approved the Rules (methodology) of pricing for goods produced from oil, which establish the procedure for calculating pricing for goods produced from oil (gasoline, aviation and diesel fuel, fuel oil, vacuum gas oil) (valid from March 15 to June 30, 2020 inclusively).
386.5 thousand tons of diesel fuel were allocated at a reduced price for spring field works:
In the framework of execution of orders of the head of state of ME RK 386,5 thousand tons of diesel fuel was allocated for spring field work at a reduced price 165 tenge per liter. This measure is aimed at stable implementation of spring field work.
Limit prices for liquefied gas for motorists have been set:
The Ministry of Energy together with regional akimats analyzed the minimum and maximum prices at all 2165 gas stations. As a result of this analysis by a joint order of the Ministry of Energy dated 03.04.2020 No. 125 and the Ministry of National Economy dated 03.04.2020 No. 22, the maximum prices for retail sale of liquefied petroleum gas for refueling vehicles at gas stations were established. In general, average prices for liquefied petroleum gas in Kazakhstan were reduced by 8% (effective during the emergency).
Subsoil users were able to purchase goods from domestic producers without competitive procedures:
- This measure allowed subsoil users to purchase goods from one source from Kazakhstani producers without competitive procedures, which could last up to two months. This made it possible to ensure the smooth operation of Kazakhstani companies and tax revenues to the budget (it was in effect during the emergency, and the Ministry is currently working to further extend this norm).
In order to avoid the risks of a number of problems for energy companies related to delays in payment of utility services by consumers, a joint order with the ministries of industry and infrastructure development, national economy, and finance "On approving the Rules for reimbursing utility suppliers for the period of emergency" was issued. 
Maximum tariff increase for electric energy production from energy producing organizations is not allowed:
Since January 1, 2020 the cost of energy-producing organizations for coal has increased (2133 tenge per ton or 9.9 % higher compared to 2019) and the purchase of electric energy from the settlement and financial center for support of renewable energy sources (tariff growth from 31.68 tenge/kWh in 2019 up to 34.62 tenge/kWh in 2020). Despite the above facts, the Ministry during the emergency in the country the maximum tariffs for electricity production are fixed at the approved level.

Due to the presence of a significant proficit of oil reserves against reduced demand for oil in the world and in Kazakhstan, there is a risk of complete overstocking of oil storage facilities in the second quarter of this year and emergency shutdowns of Kazakhstan's fields. 
In this regard, the Ministry has developed a draft government decree "On the introduction of temporary restrictions for subsurface areas use for exploration and production operations and operations for the production of hydrocarbons" with a list of individual subsurface areas for which it is necessary to restrict oil production for May-June of this year.
The production restriction applies to fields that belong to the category of medium, large and giant fields.
The specified list of subsurfaces does not include small and small fields. for which a natural decline in production is expected due to economic factors.
This resolution provides for a non-discriminatory approach to all mining companies, taking into account the need of the domestic market of Kazakhstan for the necessary volumes of oil products, as well as a fair distribution of obligations to reduce oil production for both large projects and for old fields that are at the stage of natural production decline.

<row _id="114"><ID>60220</ID><Title>The Senate has passed a bill on civil and legal liability in the field of nuclear energy use</Title><Body>April 30, 2020 the Deputies of the Senate of Kazakhstan Parliament adopted the draft law "On introduction of amendments and supplements to some legislative acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan on issues of civil liability in the field of atomic energy use" and accompanying to this amendments to the law "On radiation safety of population" and "On use of nuclear energy", the press service of the Ministry of Energy of Kazakhstan announced.
The draft law provides for the regulation of public relations arising during the operation of nuclear installations in the Republic of Kazakhstan, namely in the field of civil liability of operators of nuclear installations for causing nuclear damage.
The law of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated February 10, 2011 ratified the Vienna Convention on civil liability for nuclear damage of 1997.
The main idea of the Vienna Convention is that in the event of a nuclear incident, the installation operator is obliged to compensate for the damage caused. At the same time, the minimum amount of compensation for nuclear damage by the operator is determined by the state.
Today, Kazakhstan does not regulate at the legislative level the conditions for applying the provisions of the Vienna Convention of 1997, namely, the state does not define the limits of the operator's liability and does not regulate the issues of financial security and insurance.
It is important to note that the acting legislation of Kazakhstan is based on General civil liability, which is insufficient and not adapted to specific nuclear risks, and there is no mechanism of compensation for losses due to a nuclear incident.
Amendments to the current legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan are aimed at strengthening civil liability of nuclear installation operators to third parties. In particular, the Draft law establishes rules for providing financial protection to victims of damage resulting from a nuclear incident, as well as for establishing mechanisms for insuring civil liability of the operator of a nuclear installation for causing nuclear damage.

The owner of the power plant is Kadi Company LLP, which implemented the project at its own expense.
During the construction of the power plant, bifunctional double-sided panels with a single power of 375 W were used with application of a single-axis morning-evening tracker system with a fixed angle. Using a tracker system will increase the power plant's output by up to 30 %.
Construction was carried out on the territory of a former landfill with an area of 10.7 hectares. The active construction phase starts in August 2019. 42 people were involved in the construction and installation works. Now the station is serviced by staff of 14 people.
The project corresponds to the policy of "green" economy and contributes to the industrial and innovative development of Kazakhstan. The reduction of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere will be about 6048 T/year. Additional jobs were created during the project implementation. Also, it should be noted that the source of electricity is inexhaustible and accessible. The payback period for this project is 7 years.
The planned annual output to the grid is 7,219,000 kW. Electricity is generated by 12,798 solar panels distributed on 158 mobile "tables" across 81 solar modules. To convert direct current to alternating current, the power plant provides 4 inverters with a single power of 1,250 KW each, combined in a block-modular installation.Unofficial translation</Body><Created Date>2020-04-27T19:20:00</Created Date><Hero Pic>/uploads/2020/4/27/c5eb80c6298c3180562a4fd10f23d6fa_original.163368.jpg</Hero Pic><Slug>v-turkestanskoy-oblasti-vvedena-v-ekspluataciyu-solnechnaya-elektrostanciya-ses-zhetysay</Slug><Hint>The solar power plant "SES "Zhetysay" was put into operation in Turkestan region</Hint><Comments On>False</Comments On><Projects>[energo]</Projects><Directions>Electrical power industry (ID: 215)</Directions></row>

<row _id="118"><ID>54826</ID><Title>Kazakhstan will reduce oil production by 390 thousand barrels per day</Title><Body>The country assumed such obligations for a period of two months under OPEC+ agreement, the press service of the Ministry of energy of Kazakhstan reports.
On April 12, during OPEC+ participation countries Ministerial webinar, a consensus was reached on an agreement to collectively reduce oil production by OPEC+ countries, as well as non - OPEC+ countries by 9.7 million barrels per day. This is by far one of the largest collective oil production cuts in the history of the global oil industry. Kazakhstan, in turn, supported the consensus in the agreement, committing to reduce production by 390 thousand barrels per day.
This decision is primarily dictated by the difficult situation that has developed not only in the oil market, but also around the world. 
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, demand for oil has fallen sharply in all countries, so the OPEC Secretariat's proposal for a collective production cut looks reasonable and timely.
Thanks to OPEC+ deal, the reduction of production will be collective, controlled and will give a positive impetus to the market, which, according to experts, will favorably affect the growth of oil prices, as well as solve the problem of overstocking.
The Ministry of energy is currently developing a scenario for reducing oil production.

In Atyrau thermal power station, Minister of energy was introduced to the progress of expanding the company's electric capacity. The investment project started in 2007 and was implemented in several stages. This Project is important not only for Atyrau region, but also for Kazakhstan as a whole, as it works to ensure the energy security of the entire country.

The installation of additional turbine units, boilers, and an increase in the steam load made it possible to increase the generated electric power from 215 MW to 474 MW. This is not all the work that is being done to increase the company's capacity. There are plans to install two more 60 MW turbine units. According to Nurlan Nogayev, new stations will increase the energy capacity of Atyrau region's economy. This is especially important for an energy-deficient region.

Existing gas-fired power plant was commissioned in 2016. According to experts, a new gas-piston station with flexible load capability, located in close proximity to the KEGOC substation, can also improve the stability and reliability of the entire Western power hub.
