Analysis
Kazakhstan recorded 36.37 terawatt-hours for electricity generation from gas in 2025. That is the highest value across all 41 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 4.8% on the previous year and up 126.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, electricity generation from gas in Kazakhstan peaked at 36.37 terawatt-hours in 2025 and was at its lowest, 4.07 terawatt-hours, in 1998.
That places Kazakhstan 37th out of 207 countries with data for 2025, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
