Russia will help our country unless we are able to build our facilities. This situation makes it depends on the country's neighbors, according to the Managing Director of Atameken NPP, Honored Power Engineering of the Republic of Kazakhstan Zhakyp Khairushev in an interview with the portal Caravan.kz.
- Last year, Kazakhstan produced 112.86 billion kWh of electricity. At the same time, we consumed more than produced - 113.89 billion kWh. We bought more than 1 billion kWh of Russia. How do you assess such a result?
