Deputy Prime Minister Kanat Bozumbayev visited strategic energy facilities in Shymkent and held a meeting with the city's assets on the implementation of the National Plan for Modernization of the Energy and Utilities Sectors.
According to the Akimat, 29 km of heating networks and 330 km of electricity networks have been reconstructed to date. Boilers have been repaired and 50 electrical transformers have been replaced. During the meeting, it was proposed and approved to include not only networks, but also the construction of electrical substations in the National Project. Thus, the replacement of more than 400 km of outdated electrical networks in Shymkent and the construction of a new "Kyzylsu" electrical substation with a capacity of 125 MW are being considered.
Later, the Vice Prime Minister was shown the operation of the boiler house in the administrative and business center, and was informed that it currently provides 10% of the city with heat and hot water. Local authorities plan to install 4 boiler houses with a total capacity of 120 Gcal by 2027, in addition to the existing 5 boiler houses, which will increase the volume of heat supply to the city by 20% (from 150 to 530 houses).
In addition, Kanat Bozumbayev visited the only CHPP-3 station in the region, noting that it provides the city with 70% of heat and 30% of electricity. The total length of the heat network from CHP-3 to the city is about 60 km, and their wear is 90%. In this regard, a decision was made to include the reconstruction of 17 km of these heat networks in the National Project.
