Central Asia Partnership

In June 2020, EUPP established a new USEA-Central Asia Partnership to provide technical assistance to Central Asian countries to assist them with meeting their regional energy security priorities and to support USAID regional programming. The objectives of the partnership activities are to enhance the capacity of regional stakeholders for integration of renewable energy generation to meet regional governments’ renewable energy targets; to improve their capacity for system modeling and long-term planning required for the establishment of an interconnected regional power system; to help prepare regional stakeholders for the challenges related to the digitization of manual energy processes and associated cyber-security issues; and to support existing and planned USAID programming on power market development to create an enabling environment for the establishment of a viable regional electricity market.

This assistance will be provided through the two workstreams, regional and bilateral. While bilateral programs will be implemented in four countries - Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, the assistance will also target Turkmenistan within the regional component.

In Kazakhstan, the USEA – Central Asia Partnership works to provide technical assistance to Kazakh stakeholders on issues of digitization and cyber-security, stability and reliability of the national power grid, and hydroelectric power development.

The USEA partnership conducted a comprehensive review of currently available digital substation technologies for the Kazakhstan Electricity Grid Operating Company (KEGOC). The review included best international practices and SWOT analysis, suggestion of an optimal technology for implementation in Kazakhstan, assistance with selecting a substation to host a pilot application of the technology, and a strategy roadmap for integrating the technology throughout KEGOC’s system.  This will enhance the capacity of KEGOC for reliable and efficient operation of Kazakhstan’s national electric grid, improving reliability and efficiency and reducing operational costs. 

A new USEA project on Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) for Reactive Power Compensation was launched in January 2022 to prepare KEGOC to implement FACTS technology to enhance the stability of the system and increase the transfer capacity of Kazakhstan’s national electric grid. Implementation of FACTS technology would result in improved quality and efficiency of power transmission with reduced delivery costs, contributing to increased reliability and resiliency of Kazakhstan’s National Power Grid.

 

The Energy Utility Partnership Program (EUPP) is supported by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Bureau for Development, Democracy, and Innovation (DDI) and implemented by the U.S. Energy Association (USEA). EUPP works around the world to promote energy security, clean energy access, and capacity building to achieve self-reliance.
