A meeting of the regional akimat on the issues of the progress and completion of the heating season was held under the chairmanship of the Akim of the Kostanay Region, Kumar Aksakalov.

The Head of State has repeatedly instructed to ensure the uninterrupted progress of the heating season. In our region, it is proceeding as planned and is nearing completion. No major accidents have been recorded. This is undoubtedly the result of repair work carried out in advance last summer.

Significant funds are allocated annually for the modernization of heat supply facilities and engineering infrastructure. As a result, the number of accidents on heating networks in the region has decreased 6 times — from 830 in the 2022–2023 heating season to 134 in the current one.

The President of the country set the task to reduce the wear and tear of heating networks to 42% by the end of 2029. In 2022–2025, we managed to reduce this indicator from 50% to 43%.

"Another important issue is tariffs. People should pay a fair price for the heat, water, and electricity they consume. This is possible through the installation of modern metering devices with remote data transmission functionality. Such devices allow for accurate accounting of consumption volumes and ensure transparency in calculations. The implementation of automated meters is growing: if in 2023 they were installed in 433 houses, then in 2025 — already in 1,132 houses, an increase of 3 times. Metering devices allow for savings through consumption regulation. Now, with the onset of warm spring weather, residents open their windows, and heat escapes outside. At the same time, they continue to pay for heating in full. This is not right. Our task is to more actively install heat metering units with the participation of our enterprises and local manufacturers. Such devices are already successfully operating in the region," noted the head of the region.

In the current heating season, savings in one apartment building amounted to 890 thousand tenge — these are funds that remain with our citizens. The Akim of the region emphasized the need to continue installing metering devices at the same pace and ensure 100% coverage.
