Dear partners!
On November 9, 2020, the Head of State signed a law providing for incentive measures for energy waste disposal. These changes affected the norms of the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the field of both ecology and energy, which suggest the possibility of implementing the WASTE-TO-ENERGY project, by processing solid household waste (SHW) into energy.
The concept for the transition of the Republic of Kazakhstan to a "green economy" outlines the tasks of reducing the number of landfills, switching to the widespread use of recycled materials, extracting useful substances and materials from waste, recycling waste, obtaining fuel through their disposal with a target transition to the level of waste processing of at least 40% by 2030.
Currently, the problem of recycling and disposal of SHW has become so critical that it requires an early change in the approach to waste management. It is necessary to build a waste management system, involving in this process processors of all types of waste, including enterprises for thermal disposal.
In the world practice, waste incineration complexes are an effective mechanism for reducing the volume of waste disposal and generating alternative types of energy. The existing technologies for their incineration in the world are safe for the environment.
To increase the investment attractiveness of this market and create a complete waste management infrastructure, it is planned to use a similar mechanism in the field of renewable energy sources, precisely the guaranteed purchase of electric energy from the incinerator by the financial settlement center for the support of renewable energy sources.
The authorized body in the field of environmental protection will approve the maximum auction prices for electricity generated from waste incineration, carry out the qualification selection of W2E objects for their participation in the auction, set requirements for emissions and control compliance with these requirements.
For the rest, the entire mechanism is identical to the current mechanism in the field of RES.
Currently, regulatory acts that will allow implementing the changes accepted in the legislation have entered into legal force.
On its part, JSC KOREM has developed software aimed at conducting auctions for the selection of renewable energy projects, all the necessary information will be posted on the corporate website, on the basis of which interested parties will be able to find and get informed about relevant materials in this area of activity and prepare for the first W2E auctions in the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The organization of W2E auctions - is a new stage in the development of the non-traditional energy sector, which will allow JSC KOREM to expand the range of services provided in the electric energy market.
On the eve of the launch of the W2E auction, JSC KOREM informs all interested parties and potential participants that you can ask all your questions on the website of JSC KOREM and by phone: 87172 982970, 982971, 982973.

Since 2016, the Republic of Kazakhstan has banned the disposal of certain types of waste (mercury-containing lamps and appliances, metal scrap, waste oils and liquids, batteries, electronic waste), since 2019, a ban on the disposal of plastic, cardboard and waste paper, glass, and from 2021, a ban on the disposal of construction and food waste.
