A social market economy is predicated on the principle that sustainable development is possible only if there is a solid focus on key economic, social, and environmental issues. The purpose of the research reported in this paper is to explore the outcomes of market reforms related to the shift to a green economy in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The findings from the authors’ study indicate that today the Kazakh economy is one of the world’s most energy-intensive economies, which is due to the use of outmoded infrastructure, technology, and standards, most of which were inherited from as early as the Soviet period. As a result of its market reforms, Kazakhstan has experienced tangible economic growth, but the nation’s environmental indicators remain a serious concern in relation to the health of its citizens. In the Environmental Performance Index (EPI), Kazakhstan has fallen far behind not only most developed market-oriented countries but some of the developing nations that used to be part of the former Soviet Union as well, like Russia, Belarus, Armenia, Turkmenistan, and others. To galvanize the process of shifting to a “green” economy in the Republic of Kazakhstan, it may help to implement some of the new instruments that have been employed as part of environmental policy in certain market-oriented countries and have proven to be efficient. These instruments and approaches include environmental taxes and levies, permit trading systems, deposit return systems, environmentally motivated subsidies, and organizations and enterprises displaying a willing, voluntary attitude toward improving their environmental performance.
The presented work is devoted to the organization of the electric power industry and the agro-industrial complex of Kazakhstan. Here is given an economic analysis of the production capacity of the development of power plants. It is noted that more than 80% of electricity generation is carried out by coal-fired thermal power plants. Important attention is paid to the significant wear and tear of machinery and equipment at thermal power plants and state district power plants. The key focus of the work is on econometric modeling to identify patterns and quantify the impact of electricity production and digital farms on increasing agricultural production. The results of the regression model are substantiated using the applied statistical package EViews. A medium-term econometric forecast for the development of the agricultural sector is presented, considering the introduction of digital farms. Problems are revealed and measures to stimulate the construction of new energy facilities are considered. Also, proposals were made to enhance the use of investment projects of alternative energy sources in the country. At the same time, an important emphasis is considered at the level of enhanced development of ICT in the energy and agro-industrial complex. It has been established that the digitalization of the energy and agro-industrial complex sectors contributes to the economic growth of Kazakhstan.
The particular relevance of the study of issues related to global crises is determined by the fact that although they affect the whole of humanity as a whole, the least economically and socially protected layers of the population in the whole world suffer from their consequences. That is why the key concepts of a green economy are natural capital and the ecosystem services it provides. The main priorities of the green economy concept are to increase the well-being of society with minimal impact on the environment. The article discusses the theoretical aspects of the implementation of the concept of “green” economy in Kazakhstan. The main directions of the “green” economy are highlighted and the results of the transition to a green economy are analyzed. The main stages of development of green economy in Kazakhstan are described. The problems of Kazakhstan’s transition to a “green” course of economic development are studied and the need for innovative approaches in the development of green technologies in the country is substantiated.
<p>In this research the analysis of shutdowns in long power line SS147AL169A in Almaty power grid for 2016-2021 was done. For the analyzed period, there were 16 emergency shutdowns. 6 of them occurred due to evident external causes. Other 10 cases analyzed for the possibility of a connection with the geomagnetic environment. Initial analysis showed a possible connection between the automatic operation of relay protection and the presence of geomagnetically induced currents. This is due to the geomagnetic situation, which was before the moment the relay was triggered. At the moment, more detailed calculations are being carried out.</p><p>This research has been/was/is funded by the Science Committee of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Grant No. AP00000000).</p>
