REGULATORY LICENSING \u00a0\u00b7\u00a0 KAZAKHSTAN<\/p>\n
Bond Stone advises on the full range of energy and subsoil use licensing in Kazakhstan \u2014 subsoil use contracts for oil and gas, uranium, and solid minerals; renewable energy licences and connection approvals; electricity generation, transmission, and distribution licences; and environmental permits for energy sector operations. Kazakhstan’s energy sector regulatory framework underwent significant reform following the adoption of the Subsoil and Subsoil Use Code in 2018, with ongoing amendments continuing through 2025.<\/p>\n
Subsoil and Subsoil Use Code \u2014 2018 reform<\/p>\n
Kazakhstan’s primary subsoil use framework is governed by the Subsoil and Subsoil Use Code (Code No. 125-VI dated 27 December 2017, effective 29 June 2018). The Code replaced the previous Law on Subsoil and Subsoil Use and introduced a new classification of subsoil use contracts \u2014 exploration contracts, production contracts, combined exploration and production contracts, and contracts for the extraction of mineral water and therapeutic mud. The Code also introduced the principle of competitive allocation of subsoil use rights through auctions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Oil & gas licensing \u2014 Ministry of Energy<\/p>\n
Oil and gas subsoil use contracts are issued by the Ministry of Energy of Kazakhstan. Contracts are awarded through competitive tender or direct negotiation for strategic fields. Foreign companies may hold subsoil use rights subject to Kazakhstani local content requirements \u2014 domestic procurement, local employment obligations, and technology transfer commitments. Bond Stone advises on subsoil use contract structuring, local content compliance, and work programme obligations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Renewable energy \u2014 licences and connection approvals<\/p>\n
Kazakhstan’s renewable energy sector is regulated under the Law on Supporting the Use of Renewable Energy Sources. Renewable energy producers must obtain electricity production licences and connection approvals from the System Operator (KEGOC). Renewable energy projects benefit from fixed tariff support under Kazakhstan’s renewable energy auction system. Bond Stone advises on renewable energy licence applications, grid connection agreements, and power purchase agreement structuring with the Single Buyer (KOREM).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Agency for Atomic Energy \u2014 2025 reform<\/p>\n
In 2025, Kazakhstan established a dedicated Agency for Atomic Energy reporting directly to the President. The Agency now oversees sectoral policy and regulates uranium exploration and mining \u2014 functions previously under the Ministry of Industry and Construction. Amendments to the Subsoil Use Code adopted alongside this reform tightened the regulatory framework and consolidated state control over uranium mining. Bond Stone advises on uranium sector regulatory compliance and licensing under the new Agency for Atomic Energy framework.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
