Kazakhstan plans to stop importing electricity from Russia by 2027 as it brings new domestic power generation capacity online, Deputy Energy Minister Sungat Yessimkhanov said, in another sign of Astana's efforts to reduce its dependence on Russian energy infrastructure.

The move would deal a fresh blow to Russia's electricity exports, which have already been hit by the loss of the Chinese market amid power shortages in Russia's Far East and growing competition from China in Central Asia.
