Gasification of Almaty Region 28.04.2025
Pipeline Launch in Kazhybek Bek Village Marks Major Step Toward Full Gasification of the RegionThe Almaty region continues its large-scale gasification program. One of the most significant recent milestones was the launch of gas distribution networks in the village of Kazhybek Bek, located in the Zhambyl district. This is more than just an infrastructure project — it’s a real improvement in the quality of life for thousands of residents.Construction of the gas pipeline began in December 2023 and was completed ahead of schedule by the end of 2024, despite the initial timeline of 26 months. The total cost of the project amounted to 4.2 billion tenge.The story of Kazhybek Bek is just one episode in the broader regional gasification initiative. To date, 157 settlements have been connected under the regional scheme, covering 1.2 million people — that’s 77% of the region’s total population.In 2024 alone, 17 villages gained access to gas. By the end of 2025, the gasification level is expected to reach 59.5%, covering 169 settlements. More than 6.7 billion tenge has been allocated for new projects in 2025, with an additional 1.4 billion tenge designated for project and estimate documentation.Work is underway in various districts, including Konaev, Balkhash, Zhambyl, and Ili. Authorities emphasize that the project is being implemented in phases, taking into account actual needs and principles of sustainable development.The full gasification of the region is planned to be completed by 2030. This will not only improve living conditions, but also reduce the environmental burden, create conditions for economic growth, and attract investment to rural areas.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almobl/press/news/details/984349?lang=kk
