KEGOC's main goals in energy saving and energy efficiency improvement are to reduce the volume of consumed fuel and energy resources, including by reducing auxiliary energy consumption at KEGOC facilities, reducing technological losses of electricity in the NPG, improving energy consumption control mechanisms and equipment of Company facilities with electricity and other fuel and energy resource metres, and organising information collection on energy consumption.

Fuel and energy consumption in 2022 declined by 788,170.43 GJ compared to 2021 due to a decrease in supply to the grid and, as a result, a decrease in electricity losses.
In 2022, specific energy consumption amounted to 0.18 GJ per 1,000 kWh of transmitted electricity.

The most effective, in terms of reducing the energy consumption, are the measures on reduction of technological consumption of electricity in transmission lines.
Kazakhstan's electric power system is best known for the concentration of large energy sources in the grid's Zone North and the long (approximately 1,000 km) transmission lines (mainly connecting Kazakhstan's northern and southern regions, as well as Pavlodar and Aktobe oblasts) - this is due to the country's large territory and has a significant impact on the level of technological electricity consumption (technical losses). The technical losses in KEGOC's network also depend on the operation states of energy systems of neighbouring countries (transit, export and import of electricity) and climatic conditions.
The technical losses in KEGOC networks in 2022 amounted to 2.796 billion kWh or 4.9% of electricity supply to the grid.
It should be understood that technical loss of electric power means the loss of electric power resulting from the physical processes in conductors and electrical equipment which occur during the electricity transmission across transmission lines. Thus, the main goal of planning and taking the measures on reduction of electric power losses is to bring the actual amounts of technological loss to its optimal level.
The risk of excessive losses in power transmission could increase as a result of climate change. Therefore, when developing measures to mitigate this risk, as well as to reduce electricity losses, the Company analyses climatic factors and analyses actual electricity losses in KEGOC's networks.
Due to measures on electricity loss reduction implemented, in 2022 the reduction of electricity consumption amounted to 3.932 million kWh.
