Kazakhstan Confirms Independent TPP Construction Amidst Russian Funding Concerns

Kazakhstan's Deputy Prime Minister Serik Zhumangarin recently confirmed the nation's ability to independently complete the construction of three thermal power plants (TPPs) even if the Russian company Inter RAO faces financial setbacks. This statement carries significant weight, highlighting Kazakhstan's growing economic independence and its capacity to manage large-scale infrastructure projects. The TPP projects are crucial for Kazakhstan's energy security and economic development.

The projects are located in Semey, Ust-Kamenogorsk, and Kokshetau.
