This article discusses the current state and trends in the development of the electric power industry in Kazakhstan. An analysis of the energy supply and energy intensity of Kazakhstan's GDP is provided in this paper. The results of the foresight of the risks and opportunities of the energy industry are described. This study identifies the relationship between the traditional development of the energy industry and the development of alternative energy sources. In addition, the work examines the risks and consequences of various trends in the development of national and global energy. Previous studies have shown that government efforts are insufficient in developing an alternative energy sector in Kazakhstan. The research results show that there is a need to transform energy production from traditional sources towards greater efficiency and environmental friendliness, as well as the active involvement of the business community in the development of an alternative energy market. This is expected to attract more investments and transfer technologies to maintain the country's position in the energy market of the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In order to build an environment-friendly society and realize the coordinated allocation and effective utilization of resources and finally achieve China's energy supply security, it is imperative to vigorously develop new energy sources. This study establishes a four-level new energy power generation (NEPG) development index system from multiple dimensions. Taking the installed capacity and generating capacity of China's NEPG in 2016 and 2017 as samples, we used the improved entropy method, to analyze the development of different types of NEPG among 31 provinces from three aspects: absolute value, relative value, and incremental value. Finally, we comprehensively evaluated the NEPG development in each province. The empirical analysis shows that the spatial distribution of NEPG development in China is uneven, the growth rate is different, the development gap is obvious, and the development efficiency is quite different.
