“…It boasts substantial reserves of coal, oil, and natural gas, which have historically been the primary sources of energy generation in the country [3]. The energy sector plays a vital role in Kazakhstan's economy, contributing significantly to its GDP and export revenues [4]. As a result, the energy sector is pivotal in shaping the nation's development and its impact on the environment.…”

“…The authors have previously considered the problems of the development of the electricity market in Kazakhstan and other oil-producing countries [6][7][8][9]. However, given Kazakhstan's entry into the emerging unified energy market of the Eurasian Economic Union, it seems appropriate to consider the prospects for the development of the common market.…”

The article discusses alternatives to the development of the common electricity market of the Eurasian Economic Union countries. In the study, the authors identified three tasks: to analyze the process of forming a unified energy market for the EAEU countries; to assess the achievability of indicators of “greening” the economy of the EAEU countries according to the adopted Millennium Goals by 2025 and 2030; and to consider the impact of various factors on the development of the common electricity market of the Eurasian Economic Union countries in the conditions of the current economic crisis. The research hypothesis suggests that the energy unification of the countries will not lead to the abandonment of the use of traditional energy resources, but the need to increase the efficiency and environmental friendliness of their use will come into focus, and the active inclusion of the electric power industry in modern global “green” trends based on the development of renewable energy generation sectors will make it possible to solve the problems of energy security of countries more effectively in the long-term participants of the CEM. The authors believe that it is not a deficit but on the contrary an excess of traditional energy resources that provides a trend of progressive movement towards a “green” economy, and the manifestations of the “Dutch disease” with a properly structured state energy policy and effectively selected incentive measures cannot serve as a significant brake on this movement. At the same time, the formation of a common electricity market of the EAEU countries should prioritize not just the idea of integration but also the idea of creating an alternative electricity market based on the introduction of modern electricity generation technologies and the creation of conditions that stimulate the development of alternative energy.

“…The high energy intensity of the Kazakh economy slows down its national economic growth and threatens the country's economic security (Sarbassov et al, 2013;Petrenko et al, 2020). In this regard, there is a general issue of improving energy efficiency and, in particular, analyzing the relationship between energy intensity indicators and economic development (Miketa, 2001;Sadorsky, 2013).…”

The independent Kazakhstan is highly inefficient electricity production, transmission and distribution infrastructure, while electricity prices both for industry and residential consumers is significantly lower that world average level due to abundance of oil, gas and coal resources. As a result of resource usage inefficiency, the country loss of 3-5% of national growth domestic product and competitiveness on international economic arena. The aim of this study is to determine the possibilities of ensuring economic growth in Kazakhstan by improving the energy efficiency of the economy. The paper proposes to identify the relationship between economic growth and energy efficiency in Kazakhstan by applying the correlation-regression and comparative analysis of the dynamics of the national gross product and its specific energy intensity, which will determine and substantiate the priority direction of increasing energy efficiency and sustainable development in Kazakhstan. The result of correlation-regression analysis reveals that an increase in the price of electricity supply for industry by 2.5 KZT tenge per 1 kW leads to an improvement in the energy intensity of GDP by 0.012 kg per 47,000 KZT (or 100 USD), and an increase in the price of electricity supply for the population by 2.5 KZT per 1 kW leads to an improvement in energy intensity GDP by 0.005 kg per 47,000 KZT. In discussion, the article argues that country is mostly focuses on development of renewable energy sector, while considering the situation that Kazakhstan is geographically large country with high energy losses during the transmission and distribution electricity system, the application of the Smart Grid technologies seems as a prerequisite for improvement of energy efficiency and economic growth in Kazakhstan.
