    11 an Analysis of the Internal Structure of Kazakhstan's Political

    11 Dosym SATPAEV An Analysis of the Internal Structure of Kazakhstan’s Political Elite and an Assessment of Political Risk Levels∗ Without understating the distinct peculiarities of Kazakhstan’s political development, it must be noted that the republic’s political system is not unique. From the view of a typology of political regimes, Kazakhstan possesses authoritarian elements that have the same pluses and minuses as dozens of other, similar political systems throughout the world. Objectivity, it must be noted that such regimes exist in the majority of post-Soviet states, although there has lately been an attempt by some ideologues to introduce terminological substitutes for authoritarianism, such as with the term “managed democracy.” The main characteristic of most authoritarian systems is the combina- tion of limited pluralism and possibilities for political participation with the existence of a more or less free economic space and successful market reforms. This is what has been happening in Kazakhstan, but it remains ∗ Editor’s note: The chapter was written in 2005, and the information contained here has not necessarily been updated. Personnel changes in 2006 and early 2007 include the fol- lowing: Timur Kulibaev became vice president of Samruk, the new holding company that manages the state shares of KazMunayGas and other top companies; Kairat Satybaldy is now the leader of the Muslim movement “Aq Orda”; Nurtai Abykaev was appointed am- bassador to Russia; Bulat Utemuratov became presidential property manager; and Marat Tazhin was appointed minister of foreign affairs. 283 Dosym SATPAEV important to determine which of the three types of authoritarian political systems—mobilized, conservative, or modernizing (that is, capable of political reform)—exists in Kazakhstan.

    Legal Regulation of Renewable Energy Sources Usage Abstract Introduction

    Journal of Legal, Ethical and Regulatory Issues Volume 20, Issue 2, 2017 LEGAL REGULATION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES USAGE Galym B Teleuyev, Zhetysu State University named after I.Zhansugurov Aigerim T. Ozenbayeva, Zhetysu State University named after I.Zhansugurov Daniya Nurmukhankyzy, Zhetysu State University named after I.Zhansugurov Erbol Zh Beisov, Zhetysu State University named after I.Zhansugurov Asel Sadykbekova, Zhetysu State University named after I.Zhansugurov Asel Zholdosheva, Zhetysu State University named after I.Zhansugurov ABSTRACT The main goal of the work is to study the problems of legal regulation in the use and development of renewable energy sources. The authors established that in the world, regulatory legal acts are being developed in the field of the use of renewable energy sources. It was established that the main reasons for the development of renewable energy are ensuring energy and environmental security, preserving the environment, preserving the reserves of own energy resources for future generations and increasing the consumption of raw materials for non- energy use of fuel. The authors try to determine the place and role of renewable energy sources in the system of law. Keywords: Renewable Energy, Fixed Tariff, Biomass, Legal Regulation, Alternative Energy Sources. INTRODUCTION Kazakhstan is one of the world leaders in diversity and number of mineral resources. As oil, gas, coal and other mineral deposits are most important components for the state economy and the regulation in these spheres is rather elaborated, the government historically paid less attention to the development of the alternative energy sources. For example, nowadays the majority of the electrical power plants in Kazakhstan are fired by natural gas, coal and oil- products.

    Kazakhstan: Derisking Renewable Energy Investment

    United Nations Development Programme Kazakhstan: Derisking Renewable Energy Investment 1 Key Points for Decision-Makers The objective of this report is to analyse the most cost-effective public derisking measures to promote private sector investment in utility-scale renewable energy in the Republic of Kazakhstan (“Kazakhstan”). Target sectors are wind energy and solar photovoltaic (PV). The report sets out the results from a quantitative, investment-risk informed modelling analysis. Modelling data has been obtained from structured interviews with private sector investors and developers. This report was prepared in collaboration with Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Energy. Context and Opportunity for Renewable Energy Kazakhstan’s power sector currently relies heavily on fossil fuels, reflecting the country’s endowment with an abundance of oil, natural gas, and coal reserves. Total available capacity for electricity generation “Kazakhstan is is 18.8 GW, with nearly 75% of the plants being powered by locally-sourced coal. Rapid economic growth well positioned for in the past decade has led to increases in electricity demand, but the country faces constraints in an renewable energy aging generation and transmission infrastructure dating to the Soviet-era. Kazakhstan has some of the lowest retail tariffs in the world, a function of consumption subsidies for fossil fuels (estimated at USD investment, 5.3 billion in 2014), low-cost generation from fully-depreciated power plants, and non cost-reflective tariff with abundant pricing. Kazakhstan is also characterized by regional imbalances in generation, notably in the south, wind resources resulting in supply disruptions and electricity imports from neighbouring countries. and a compelling The potential for renewable energy in Kazakhstan is strong.
