The General Director of JSC "NESK," Ilgiz Sydygaliev, reported that the shortfall of electricity was distributed among the countries as follows:
- Kazakhstan — 253 million kilowatt-hours;
- Turkmenistan — 178 million kilowatt-hours;
- Uzbekistan — 43 million kilowatt-hours;
- Russia — 30 million kilowatt-hours.
Thus, the total shortfall amounted to 499 million kilowatt-hours.
During the meeting, Deputy Prime Minister Bakyt Torobaev expressed concern about potential risks associated with shortfalls in January and February. Ilgiz Sydygaliev noted that similar situations had occurred in the previous year.
“Difficulties were observed in December; however, in February and March, suppliers were able to fully compensate for the shortfall. As a result, the annual fulfillment rate was about 93-94 percent,” he clarified.
Energy Minister Talaibek Ibraev added that the existing reserves of electricity ensure a stable passage through the autumn-winter period.
