What Samruk-Energy does

Samruk-Energy JSC is Kazakhstan's national multi-sector electric power holding, wholly owned by the Samruk-Kazyna sovereign wealth fund. The company operates a vertically integrated portfolio spanning electricity generation (coal-fired thermal, hydroelectric, and wind), electricity transmission and distribution, heat energy generation, and thermal coal mining. It controls 33% of Kazakhstan's electricity generation market, 39% of national coal production, and 30% of the unified power system's installed capacity, with 7.345 GW of installed capacity serving approximately 19 million consumers through wholly-owned subsidiaries including Almaty Power Stations, Ekibastuz GRES-1 and GRES-2, Bogatyr Komir, Alatau Zharyk Company, KEGOC, and multiple hydroelectric plants (Moynak, Shardara, Shulbinsk, Ust-Kamenogorsk HPPs), plus wind assets (Ereymentau Wind Power, First Wind Power Plant, Qazaq Green Power PLC).

The company's revenue model is anchored on government-regulated electricity and heat tariffs and long-term power purchase agreements, including a 25-year PPA with the Kazakh government for the Mirny wind project. It executes large-scale state energy infrastructure projects co-financed by international lending consortia (EBRD, Proparco, Société Générale, Standard Chartered, China Construction Bank), and supplies approximately 9.9 million tons of coal per quarter to domestic power plants plus 2.5 million tons in exports. The group employs 17,892 people and holds total assets of 1,823,896 million tenge. As a strategic instrument of state energy policy, Samruk-Energy is the principal vehicle for Kazakhstan's energy security, capacity expansion, and the transition toward renewables.

Technology deployment centers on thermal, hydro, and wind power generation. Distinctive operational technology includes an AI-powered video analytics safety system with 1,200+ cameras, Antison driver drowsiness detection on 60 dump trucks, AI-enabled smart helmets for PPE compliance, real-time automated emissions monitoring transmitting every 20 minutes to the national environmental database, and a climate risk management framework aligned with TCFD and IFRS S2. The company holds five ISO certifications (9001, 14001, 45001, 50001, 37001) and is a UN Global Compact signatory. Capital investment is concentrated in the $1.2 billion Mirny wind and BESS project, the $3.27 billion Kazakh-Singaporean CHP program across Semey, Ust-Kamenogorsk, and Kokshetau, and the planned first pumped-storage hydroelectric plant in Kazakhstan.

Regional players

• KazMunayGas: Kazakhstan's national oil and gas company and 20% partner in the Mirny wind project. Comparable as a sister sovereign-wealth-fund portfolio company operating critical Kazakh energy infrastructure under the same government strategic priorities as Samruk-Energy.
• KEGOC (Kazakhstan Electricity Grid Operating Company): Kazakhstan's national grid operator and a Samruk-Energy subsidiary, managing high-voltage transmission across Kazakhstan. Comparable as a sister entity operating regulated, government-linked electricity infrastructure within the same national power system.

Direct peers

• NTPC Limited: India's largest state-owned power producer with a diversified coal, hydro, solar, and wind portfolio under long-term PPAs. Highly comparable to Samruk-Energy given similar emerging-market utility mandate, coal-heavy legacy, and aggressive renewable capacity addition.
• Eskom Holdings: South African state-owned integrated utility dominated by coal generation and undergoing a renewables-driven transition. Comparable to Samruk-Energy as a large, state-controlled emerging-market utility facing similar legacy coal fleet, debt restructuring, and clean-energy transition pressures.
• Inter RAO: Russian state-controlled diversified energy holding exporting electricity and operating generation across multiple technologies. Directly comparable to Samruk-Energy as a sovereign-backed regional energy holding with generation, trading, and cross-border power flows in the post-Soviet/CIS space.
• KEPCO (Korea Electric Power Corporation): State-owned integrated Korean utility with generation, transmission, and distribution across nuclear, coal, gas, and renewables. Comparable to Samruk-Energy as a vertically integrated, state-mandated utility serving a national economy and pursuing a parallel coal-to-clean transition.
• RusHydro: Russian state-owned hydropower generator with growing renewables portfolio and regulated offtake. Comparable to Samruk-Energy's Moynak, Shulbinsk, Ust-Kamenogorsk, and Shardara HPP operations and similar position as a state-mandated clean power generator in a CIS market.

Broad incumbents

• EDF (Électricité de France): Major French state-controlled integrated utility with nuclear, hydro, and renewables generation plus regulated supply. Comparable to Samruk-Energy at a much larger scale as a state-mandated utility pursuing decarbonization while operating legacy baseload assets under regulated tariffs.
• Enel SpA: Large global integrated utility with significant renewables and conventional generation across multiple geographies. Comparable to Samruk-Energy as a diversified utility operator executing a multi-technology transition, though operating at much greater scale and geographic diversification.
• Iberdrola: Global renewables-led integrated utility with significant wind and hydro operations. Comparable to Samruk-Energy's growing wind and hydro footprint, though Iberdrola operates as a private-market incumbent at vastly larger scale across multiple geographies.
