Relationships arising between energy producing, transmitting, and supplying organizations and consumers of electric energy in the wholesale and retail markets are regulated by the Civil Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the electric power sector.
Thus, in accordance with the Rules for the Use of Electric Energy, approved by Order No. 143 of the Minister of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated February 25, 2015 (hereinafter referred to as the Rules), technical specifications for connection to electric grids are issued to consumers based on an application in any form and a questionnaire accompanying the application for technical specifications for connection to electric grids in the form specified in Appendix 3 to the Rules.
Technical specifications for connection of newly commissioned or reconstructed electrical installations are issued by the energy transmission or generating organization within 5 (five) business days (for technically simple facilities) and 10 (ten) business days (for technically complex facilities) from the receipt of the application from the consumer.
It is important to note that energy companies, along with the technical specifications, provide consumers with a completed and signed act delineating the balance sheet ownership of the electrical networks and the operational responsibilities of the parties, along with a diagram of the consumer's connection.
For the power supply of construction sites, consumers are provided with temporary technical specifications during the construction period.
Technical specifications are issued if it is technically feasible to connect to the power transmission organization's electrical grid or the power generation organization's electrical installations.
There is no fee for issuing or reissuing technical specifications.
If the consumer disagrees with the requirements specified in the technical specifications, they can contact an expert organization for an independent energy assessment. Based on the energy assessment's conclusion that the requirements specified in the technical specifications are unfounded, the consumer resubmits an application in any format to the power transmission (or power generation) organization.
In the event of repeated refusal to change the requirements specified in the technical specifications, the consumer may appeal the actions of the power transmission (power generation) organization in accordance with the procedure established by the civil legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Subconsumers whose electrical installations are planned to be connected to consumers' electrical grids receive technical specifications from consumers (electric grid owners) and coordinate them with the power transmission (power generation) organization that issued the technical specifications to the consumer. Technical specifications may be issued to subconsumers by the power transmission or power generation organization with the consent of the consumer (electric grid owners).
Consumers with any questions may contact the Territorial Department of the State Energy Supervision and Control Committee of the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan for Kostanay Region at the following address: Kostanay, Gogol Street, Building 75, Office No. 320, or by phone at 8 (7142) 50-02-60 or through the E-otinish information system.
