Kazakhstan Repairs Five High-Risk Power Plants

Five CHP plants in Kazakhstan have moved from the “red” zone to the “yellow” zone in terms of wear and tear, Deputy Energy Minister Sungat Yesimkhanov said at a government meeting, Orda.kz reports.

According to him, the heating season passed without major technological violations.

Technological violations in electrical networks decreased by 12%, and at power plants by 15%. The number of cases in which heating networks failed to comply with the temperature schedule decreased threefold. By the end of the season, power engineers improved the rating of CHP plants: five facilities moved from the red zone to the yellow zone, and three more moved from the yellow zone to the green zone.Yesimkhanov said.

He added that financing for repair work at power plants increased by 6%, while funding for heating network repairs rose by 16%.

Yesimkhanov also said specialists repaired 17,000 kilometers of power grid lines and reconstructed 323 kilometers of heating networks.

However, he said one of the main problems remains the debt owed by energy-producing organizations to KazTransGas-Aymak JSC, which stands at 37.7 billion tenge.
