Representatives from "Samruk-Energy" JSC attended the meeting of the heads of the energy and water supply government agencies of the Republics of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan to discuss the collaboration between the three nations in these areas.

Almassadam Satkaliyev, the Republic of Kazakhstan's Minister of Energy, and Galidulla Azidullin, the RK Vice Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources, both attended the negotiations on behalf of the Kazakh side. Kairat Maxutov, the Chairman of the Board at “Samruk-Energy” JSC, also attended the meeting.

The negotiations in Astana focused primarily on the interaction between the republics within the framework of the Central Asian Unified Energy System in the upcoming autumn and winter of 2023–2024, including the provision of electricity in the region, as well as the implementation of the project for the construction of the Kambarata HPP–1 in neighboring Kyrgyzstan.

The meeting participants decided to continue working on issues related to the electricity metering mechanism, the resolution of irregular electricity flows between the economic operators of the republics, and its transit from third countries during discussions of current issues in the development of the energy sector of neighboring Central Asian states. Additionally, the parties pledged that they would do every effort to properly navigate the approaching autumn-winter period within the framework of mutual support given the region's low water period.

  The three nations' collaboration in the areas of water and energy will continue to be discussed and consulted on. Before the end of this year, the heads of the energy and water supply ministries of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan will meet again.
