2025.11.11, Astana — The digitalization of Kazakhstan’s energy sector is reaching a new level thanks to the rollout of the “Unified State Management System for the Fuel and Energy Complex” platform (EnergyTech). The Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan has reported significant progress in implementing digital solutions aimed at improving the reliability and transparency of fuel-and-energy management. The key result of the rollout is a 25% reduction in accident risk during the heating season.
EnergyTech: a unified platform for the fuel and energy complex
The Ministry of Energy is rolling out the EnergyTech industry platform, which will unite all areas of the fuel and energy complex — from energy and subsoil use to refining and the coal industry — within a single digital solution. The platform is built to the national QazTech standards.
Full-scale rollout and industrial deployment of the platform are planned for 2026–2027. Currently seven digital services are in operation, two of which function in the energy sector: a digital service for monitoring preparation and progress through the autumn–winter period, and a digital service for approving cap tariffs.
Digital monitoring of the heating season: real-time control
In 2025 an industry service for monitoring readiness and progress through the autumn–winter period was launched in pilot operation. The system provides full asset accounting and control, online monitoring of facilities, and repair planning in a unified digital environment.
Within the EnergyTech platform, digital registries of facilities, nodes, and equipment have been created, providing data harmonisation, asset typing, and linking to standards and repair cycles. The next stage will be the transition from paper defect logs to digital registries, which, according to the ministry, will improve control quality and decision-making speed.
Expected effects from rolling out the system include shortening heating-season readiness monitoring to 90 days and reducing accident risk during the heating season by 25%.
Automated tariff-setting
This year a digital service for submitting and reviewing applications to approve station cap tariffs was placed into pilot operation. The system completely eliminates paper workflow, increases process transparency and manageability, and reduces timelines and operating costs.
At this stage the service covers 63 entities, 83 generation facilities, and more than 1,600 processed documents. According to Ministry of Energy data, the rollout cut the number of business processes in approval workflows by half and reduced the administrative burden on applicants by 56%.
Outlook
The Ministry of Energy reported plans to further expand the rollout of automated electricity-metering systems. Implementation of the EnergyTech platform to QazTech standards is part of the overall strategy of digital transformation of public administration in Kazakhstan.
The digitalization of the energy sector includes the transition from manual to digital control, from paper-based to electronic workflow, from reactive to proactive management of the country’s critical infrastructure.
