Kazakhstan’s energy landscape is undergoing a major shift as President Tokayev appoints Yerlan Akkenzhenov as the new energy minister. This change comes amid the country’s push for nuclear power, marking a pivotal moment in Kazakhstan’s energy diversification strategy.
Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has appointed Yerlan Akkenzhenov as the country’s new energy minister, according to a decree published on the presidential press service Akorda’s website.
Akkenzhenov replaces Almassadam Satkaliyev, who has been assigned to lead Kazakhstan’s newly established atomic energy agency.
The appointment comes as Kazakhstan moves forward with its nuclear energy ambitions, following a national referendum in October last year that approved the construction of the country's first nuclear power plant. On Tuesday, President Tokayev signed a decree creating a dedicated agency to oversee atomic energy development, highlighting the government’s commitment to diversifying its energy sector.
Akkenzhenov, who had been serving as Kazakhstan’s vice minister of energy since June 2023, now takes on the leadership of the Energy Ministry at a crucial time. The country is aiming to balance its vast oil and gas resources with emerging energy needs, including renewables and nuclear power.
With Kazakhstan’s strategic energy policies evolving, Akkenzhenov’s leadership will be pivotal in shaping the country’s future energy landscape while ensuring stability in its traditional energy markets.
