LONDON (ShareCast) - Kazakhmys has signed a memorandum of understanding with Samruk-Energy that will see the pair consider a strategic partnership and joint ownership of the Kazakhmys Power division.

They expect a tie-up will bring benefits of access to additional coal resources and greater integration with Kazakhstan's energy development and transmission programmes.

Samruk-Energy was set up by the Kazakhstan government to implement state policy on the modernisation of existing power stations and the construction of new power stations. It will now carry out due diligence on the assets within the division.

“Samruk-Energy, with their access to substantial coal assets, would be an excellent partner for our power division,” said Kazakhmys boss Oleg Novachuk.
