In a recent expanded government meeting, Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev issued a clear directive to accelerate the construction of Kazakhstan's first nuclear power plant and initiate the search for a site for a second plant. This decision comes as the country faces a growing energy shortage, and the government looks to diversify its energy sources.
"Against the backdrop of increasing energy deficits, it is crucial to speed up the construction of the first nuclear power plant and start developing a nuclear cluster in Kazakhstan," Tokayev stated.
The President also directed the government to formulate long-term plans for the nuclear industry’s development. He stressed the importance of conducting a comprehensive analysis to determine the optimal locations for future nuclear plants and ensure the use of the most advanced and safe technologies in their construction.
"Nuclear energy is essential for Kazakhstan’s growth. Without it, the country’s progressive development could be at risk," Tokayev added.
Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov, during the meeting, revealed that agreements for the construction of the first nuclear power plant in the Almaty region are expected to be finalized shortly.
Earlier reports indicated that four companies from China, South Korea, Russia, and France are in the running for the project. These companies have been shortlisted to build the first nuclear power plant in Kazakhstan, which is part of the country's broader strategy to address energy shortages and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
Kazakhstan, which holds significant natural resources, has been heavily reliant on traditional energy sources like coal, but the government's push for nuclear power highlights its commitment to modernizing the energy sector and ensuring long-term sustainability.
