Conditions for business development are being created in our country. 29.10.2025
Timur Eueskhanovich, conditions for business development are being created in our country. What changes have been made to current regulations in the electric power sector?Yes, amendments and additions have been made to the legislation concerning the electric power industry. For example, the rules for the use of electric power, approved by Order No. 143 of the Minister of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated February 25, 2015, shorten the timeframe for issuing technical specifications for connection to the power grid and eliminate the requirement for obtaining a permit for construction and installation work. Now, the designer only needs to submit an electronic notification of the commencement of work to the State Architectural and Construction Supervision Department.Furthermore, the requirement to obtain a permit for connection to the power grid from the state energy supervision and control agency has been eliminated. The weekly period for concluding an electricity supply contract with the energy supplier has been reduced to three days. The requirement for an energy assessment prior to connection to the grid has been eliminated.How is the process of connecting to the power grid carried out, and are there any special aspects to this work in the Kostanay region? The consumer submits an application for connection to the power transmission organization's electrical grid.After receiving the consumer's application, in any form, the power transmission or power generation organization issues technical specifications for connecting newly commissioned or reconstructed electrical installations within five (5) business days, along with a completed and signed act delineating the balance sheet ownership of the electrical grids and the operational responsibilities of the parties, along with a diagram of the consumer's connection.The consumer complies with the requirements of the issued technical specifications, including the development of design documentation and the installation of electrical installations (with organizations holding the appropriate license).4. The installation company notifies the power transmission company that the issued technical specifications have been met and that it is ready to supply voltage. A statement of acceptance of the electricity supply contract is also sent (with a list of the required contract documents attached).5. The power transmission company, within 2 working days of receiving the notification, verifies the external connection and ensures that the work performed complies with the issued technical specifications.6. The power transmission company, within 3 working days of receiving the notification, applies voltage, seals the commercial metering system (electricity meter), and issues a metering system sealing certificate.If any deficiencies are identified in the work performed, the power transmission company issues a certificate of the identified deficiencies within 2 working days.If you have any questions about connecting to the power grid, you can contact the Territorial Department of the Committee for State Energy Supervision and Control of the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan for Kostanay Oblast by calling 8 (7142) 50-02-60 or through the E-Otinish information system.Head of the Regional State Institution "Territorial Department of the Committee for State Energy Supervision and Control of the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan for Kostanay Oblast."Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanai-mendykarin-audany-akimat/press/news/details/1095402?lang=kk
