Kazakhstan is in favor of expanding cooperation in the gas sector with Azerbaijan and other countries of the Central Asian region, Energy Minister Almasadam Satkaliev said in Astana, reported from the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Speaking during the first meeting of the energy ministers of the Central Asian states, he reminded that Kazakhstan is starting to implement a global project in the field of development and transmission of green energy with Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan.
In addition, the country is also actively discussing the construction of a large-scale hydroelectric power station Kambarata HPP-1 with Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, he said.
"In this regard, I propose to consider the possibility of implementing similar projects with the states of the region, in particular in the gas industry," he suggested.
He added that today, among the challenges faced by the Central Asian countries are the global disruption of the stability of energy supplies, fluctuations in oil and gas prices, and other factors.
"To ensure the reliability of energy supplies, it is necessary to develop mechanisms for forecasting and managing these challenges, as well as to strengthen cooperation between our countries," Satkaliev suggested. He also called on his colleagues to intensify efforts to strengthen cooperation by expanding opportunities for energy trade, as well as to establish the development of a low-carbon direction, achieving carbon neutrality and a gradual energy transition.
