| Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan to Create Joint Water Basin Authority | Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan are interested in jointly using water-works facilities. 10 years ago the governments of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan established a special commission meant for solving issues of inter-state usage of channels, rivers, and reservoirs in cross-border regions. These facilities include Orto-Tokoi and Kirov reservoirs, Westerns, Eastern, Bypass and Chu channels, as well as the Chumysh hydroelectric complex. Some of the facilities are located in the northern part of Kyrgyzstan and some of them in southern Kazakhstan. Each state allocates financial assets for maintaining these facilities in a proper technical state. | |
| EBRD to Support Waste to Energy in Kazahkstan | The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is considering establishing a Kazahkstan Waste Management Facility. The two main objectives of the acility will be to provide financing and technical assistance for the realisation of waste-to-energy projects, which will demonstrate the benefits of energy recovery from waste in conjunction with the introduction of modern waste management approaches. | |
| Chevron Plans To Invest In Kazakh Wind Power Project | Energy giant Chevron (NYSE:CVX) plans to invest in a wind power project in Kazakhstan, the Kazakh presidential administration said Thursday, quoting Chevron CEO John Watson, who visited the Central Asian republic. | |
| POINT OF VIEW: Kyrgyzstan for Regional Water and Energy Cooperation | Grand designs
To avert disaster, piecemeal engineering will not suffice. A sustained and balanced endeavour is necessary. Along the natural river basins of Syr Darya and Amu Darya it needs a comprehensive and ideally rules-based regional approach covering the whole Afghanistan & Central Asia (AFCA) region. The upstream countries Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, which are particularly rich in water and hydropower potentials, must together with the downstream countries Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan anticipate in a comprehensive cooperation scheme to rapidly improve water management. In terms of hydropower distribution a regional effort should also include Pakistan (AFPAC-dimension) as proposed in the “CASA-1000” energy bridge from Central to South Asia. CASA-1000 is a pilot project designed to transport hydro energy from Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan to Afghanistan and Pakistan. | |
| $1B Wind Farm Planned for Zhambyl Region of Kazakhstan | A renewable energy consortium is planning a potential $1 billion investment to construct two wind farms in southern Kazakhstan that would enable the region to cut its dependence on imported electricity. | |
| Kazatomprom Plans Solar Panel Plant | Kazakhstan will start building a solar panel manufacturing plant in its capital city of Astana within this month, the national atomic company Kazatomprom said. | |
| Low Cost Power May Bring Solar Polysilicon Production to Kazakhstan | Kun Renewables LLP, a unit of Kazakhstan’s Lancaster Group, expects to begin exporting purified silicon used in solar cells from a new plant in the central Asian country next year. “Production should begin in 20 months,” Prasad Bhamre, president of the Almaty-based company, said in an interview in Mumbai. Potential markets are India, Malaysia, Thailand and China, he said. Lower power rates in energy-rich Kazakhstan will allow the plant to produce polysilicon more cheaply. | |
