Kazakhstan Invests $9.5M to Upgrade Heat Networks Ahead of Winter
The Kazakh government has allocated around 3.8 billion tenge from its reserve fund to repair and upgrade heat networks in Pavlodar and Ekibastuz. This investment aims to ensure a reliable heat supply for the upcoming heating season and is part of the National Project 'Modernization of the Energy and Communal Sectors'.
The current reconstruction of heat mains is underway to meet the deadline and prevent disruptions during the heating season. Additionally, a significant project worth 9.8 billion tenge is planned to build a new heat main, TMI-20A, in Pavlodar. This will extend heat supply to an additional 30% of the city's territory that was previously not budgeted for.
In 2024, extensive repairs were carried out in Ekibastuz. These included work on 9 km of main heat supply networks, boiler units, and a wastewater pipeline at the Ekibastuz TPP. A campaign is also ongoing to reduce wear and tear on engineering networks and heat sources in the Pavlodar region, following the instructions of Kazakh Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. This has led to a decrease in network wear and tear to 79.7% at the beginning of this year.
The total expenditure for these projects amounts to 5.8 billion tenge, with 3.8 billion tenge from the government reserve and 2 billion tenge co-financed from the regional budget. The local government of the Pavlodar region will fund the remaining 2 billion tenge. So far, reconstruction work on 2.4 km of heat networks has been completed at heat transfer enterprises in the region, demonstrating progress towards a modernized energy and housing sector.
