As for difficulties to bring investments the main obstacle is the lack of competitive market in the broad sense. That is the point of efforts one should apply for in the first place.

Nuclear in Kazakhstan is about 60T per kWh at the capital cost recoup time. But the problem is that there is no way to reach the decarbonization targets without nuclear. Wind and solar cannot substitute the NPP and Coal fired generation in the visible perspective.
