Qatar is set to build a new
hydroelectric power plant in Kazakhstan, particularly, on the Irtysh River,
with a capacity of up to 350 megawatts. According to the Samruk Kazyna
Sovereign Wealth Fund, the Kazakh side has discussed the construction of the
facility with Qatar’s largest energy and investment company. Preliminary
technical and economic feasibility studies for the project are currently underway,
with the intention to complete this work by September. The preliminary cost of
the project will also be determined.
