The improvement of the quality of heat supply in Karaganda continues. Last year, the construction of the third heat pipeline was completed to eliminate the shortage of heat capacity in the Southeast. This year, the reconstruction of heat networks on Arkhitekturnaya Street should be completed in Maykuduk under the investment program.
Akim of Karaganda region Yermaganbet Bolekpayev instructed monopolists to report to consumers under the "Tariff instead of investment" program. The company "Teplotranzit Karaganda" reported on what factors affect the formation of the tariff.
4690 houses in Karaganda are connected to the central heating system, about half of which are multi-storey buildings. The length of heat networks is 448 km. The wear of communications is still high - 71.2%. Modernization is being carried out within the framework of the approved investment program. The measures are aimed at increasing the reliability of heat supply, reducing heat costs and reducing wear of the heat supply system.
From February 1, new tariffs for heat supply services came into force. The changes were approved by orders of the Department of the Committee for Regulation of Natural Monopolies.
“The price increase is due to the implementation of the investment program within the framework of the state program “Tariff for Investment”, changes in the cost of strategic goods (electricity and heat energy for regulatory costs), as well as an increase in the volume of services provided,” the company explained.
Aldanysh Kunispekov, Financial Director of Teplotranzit Karaganda LLP, spoke about this year's projects.
– The reconstruction of heat networks on Arkhitekturnaya Street will be carried out starting in 2023. 500 meters of 1.6 kilometers remain. This year it should be completely completed. The expected result is to improve heat supply, increase the reliability of heating networks, and reduce costs, - he reported.
- Also, within the framework of the "Tariff for Investment" program, we will begin the reconstruction of the inter-city networks and pumping station in microdistrict 28. The length of the networks is 1.37 km. The project will last for two years, until 2026. Its implementation will allow connecting new buildings in this district to heat.
According to Andrei Lyapunov, General Director of Teplotranzit Karaganda LLP, it is planned to connect consumers of the South-East to the third heat pipeline at the end of March.
- It is currently operating in test mode. We are checking the operation of pumps and automation, - he said. - In general, together with the authorities, we continue to modernize the city's heat supply.
