Under the conditions of the current energy crisis, which has already seized all the world, there is much tension around the issue of universal transition to a new level of energy efficiency policy. This policy is of high concern of energy-rich Kazakhstan as it touches on several important and interrelated aspects. The first point is a conscious political decision at the national level, e.g. the way how the state responds to the problem as a whole: whether it carries or delays the adoption of the relevant documents on the basis of the current energy situation and/or on the basis of regional and/or global treaty obligations. In the case when the state is committed to energy-saving philosophy the problem lies beneath the ability to use the least amount of energy while maintaining or increasing the level of consumption.
