ABSTRACT
The electric power sector is analyzed from the standpoint of well-being and a number of political priorities are considered that go beyond the traditional tasks of the so-called “energy trilemma”, namely reliable, affordable and carbon-free energy. This shows the importance of solving the problem at different levels as it can help the Government of Kazakhstan more reliably achieve synergy between actions to combat climate change and other priorities and, consequently, achieve double harmonization. The purpose of the study is to consider the cost and pricing surveys in the conditions of the functioning of the electricity market of Kazakhstan. Electricity is of key importance for human well-being. Electricity is highly necessary for many basic services, infrastructure and economic activities. Despite the increase in energy efficiency, the global electricity demand increased by 115% between 1990 and 2020, which is significantly higher than the population growth rate over the same period. This trend will undoubtedly continue conditioned upon economic growth, increased access and the electrification of end users. The assessment of electricity generation technologies from the point of view of well-being requires the use of the full cost method, which includes all applicable external costs, risks and benefits to determine the low-carbon energy balance, which in the Republic of Kazakhstan, is compatible with sustainable development. This assessment clearly needs to go beyond the plant level to consider the network infrastructure and demand to get a holistic view of the social costs of electricity. The practical significance lies in the analysis of cost and pricing in the conditions of the functioning of the electricity market of Kazakhstan.

Zagadnienia kosztów i cen w warunkach funkcjonowania rynku energii elektrycznej Kazachstanu

Sektor elektroenergetyczny jest analizowany z punktu widzenia dobrostanu, w którym uwzględnia się szereg priorytetów politycznych, które wykraczają poza tradycyjne zadania tzw. trylematu energetycznego, a mianowicie niezawodną, przystępną cenowo i bezemisyjną energię. Pokazuje to wagę problemu na różnych poziomach, ponieważ może to pomóc rządowi Kazachstanu w bardziej niezawodnym osiągnięciu synergii między działaniami na rzecz przeciwdziałania zmianom klimatu a innymi priorytetami, a w konsekwencji osiągnąć podwójną harmonizację. Celem opracowania jest uwzględnienie badań dotyczących kosztów i cen w warunkach funkcjonowania rynku energii elektrycznej Kazachstanu. Energia elektryczna ma kluczowe znaczenie dla dobrobytu człowieka. Jest niezbędna dla realizacji wielu podstawowych usług, dla infrastruktury i działalności gospodarczej. Pomimo wzrostu efektywności energetycznej, światowe zapotrzebowanie na energię elektryczną wzrosło o 115% w latach 1990–2020, co jest znacznie wyższe niż tempo wzrostu populacji w tym samym okresie. Ten trend będzie niewątpliwie kontynuowany pod wpływem wzrostu gospodarczego, zwiększonego dostępu i elektryfikacji użytkowników końcowych. Ocena technologii wytwarzania energii elektrycznej z punktu widzenia dobrostanu wymaga zastosowania metody pełnego kosztu, która uwzględnia wszystkie mające zastosowanie koszty zewnętrzne, ryzyka i korzyści do określenia niskoemisyjnego bilansu energetycznego, co w Republice Kazachstanu jest zgodne ze zrównoważonym rozwojem. Ocena ta wyraźnie musi wykraczać poza poziom zakładu, aby uwzględnić infrastrukturę sieciową i wymaga całościowego spojrzenia na społeczne koszty energii elektrycznej. Praktyczne znaczenie tkwi w analizie kosztów i cen w warunkach funkcjonowania rynku energii elektrycznej Kazachstanu.
