Russia “forgot” about building power plants in Kazakhstan — Astana moves on without Moscow

Kazakhstan has begun construction on one of three coal-fired power plants that Russia had previously promised to help build.

Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov stated that the country never received any support from Moscow, despite signed agreements and memorandums during Putin’s 2023 visit.

The projects involve plants in Kokshetau, Semey, and Ust-Kamenogorsk. Construction in Kokshetau is already underway — fully funded by Kazakhstan.

Astana is still awaiting a response from Russia on the other two sites but is prepared to move forward independently.

The total cost of the three stations is nearly $X billion. The Russian side had designated Inter RAO – Export as the responsible party.

However, by 2025 it became clear that Russia could provide neither equipment nor financing — due in part to the consequences of the war in Ukraine and international sanctions.

Kazakhstan is now seeking new investors. Once again, the Kremlin has proven that its agreements aren’t worth the paper they’re signed on.
