Shaimerden Chikanayev, Project Finance and Energy Partner at GRATA International Law Firm,* recently provided expert commentary to Eurasianet on the legal and regulatory implications of Rosatom's selection as the winning bidder for Kazakhstan's debut nuclear power plant (NPP) project.

The announcement marks a pivotal step in Kazakhstan's energy strategy, aiming to diversify its power mix and enhance energy security. However, the involvement of Rosatom, Russia's state nuclear corporation, raises critical legal, geopolitical, and financial considerations.
