The new structure will operate as a project office and general customer, with the right to hold state stakes in future nuclear power plants.

In the future, a specialized nuclear energy holding is planned to be established on the same basis, bringing together design and operating organizations to consolidate efforts in developing nuclear energy in the country.

Earlier, Qazinform News Agency reported that Kazakhstan is set to build at least three NPPs by 2050.
