The Almaty University of Power Engineering and Telecommunications was created on January 10, 1997 on the basis of the Almaty Power Engineering Institute (APEI) that operated from 1975 to 1997. This is the first non-state technical university with the status of a non-profit organization, which will rebrand in the new academic year. The modern conceptual philosophy of the brand will also affect the name of the university. It will become the Energo University – this is a process of active change and development aimed at achieving new goals and meeting the current requirements and challenges, which includes the introduction of new educational approaches, the development of innovative technologies, the adaptation of programs and courses to the needs of the labor market, strengthening partnerships with enterprises and society, as well as changing the organizational culture and management processes.
