In Western Kazakhstan, the reliability of electricity supply to consumers will be improved through the completion of a project to strengthen the power grid of the Zone West of the country's unified power system (UPS).

For this purpose, KEGOC is building 779.7 kilometres of 220 kV overhead transmission lines (Uralskaya - Pravoberezhnaya - Inder - Karabatan - Kulsary - Tengiz).

Currently, these areas are connected by a single long power transmission line. When this line is disconnected, the power systems of the Atyrau and Mangistau regions fail. It decreases the reliability of electricity supply to consumers in the entire western region.

Implementation of the project will increase the capacity of networks and reliability of power supply to consumers of Zone West of the UPS of Kazakhstan.

Along with the construction of new energy facilities, KEGOC is modernising existing ones. The company is focusing on the rehabilitation of power transmission lines around the country that have reached the end of their normal service life. This large-scale endeavour is divided into three stages.

The first stage will be completed this year with the rehabilitation of 220-500 kV overhead power lines of Aktyubinskiye MES (MES - intersystem network), Sarbaiskiye MES and Zapadnye MES branches of KEGOC. To date, 1,955 kilometres of the projected 2,023 kilometres of overhead electricity lines have been rehabilitated.

Implementation of the second stage provides for rehabilitation of 44 220-500 kV overhead lines of Almatinskiye MES, Tsentralnye MES, and Yuzhnye MES branches of KEGOC with a total length of more than 4 thousand km.

During the implementation of the third stage, it is planned to rehabilitate 220-500 kV overhead lines of Akmolinskiye MES, Vostochnye MES, Severnye MES, and Tsentralnye MES branches of KEGOC with a total length of over 4 thousand kilometres.

It is important to note that KEGOC has the necessary capital and operating funds to complete the rehabilitation of the power grids without external loans. The company plans to spend more than KZT 90 billion of its equity funds for this purpose.

220 kV Uralskaya, Pravoberezhnaya, Inder, Kulsary, and Tengiz substations will be expanded, and 220 kV Karabatan distribution station will be constructed, to ensure the resilience of Kazakhstan's national power grid.

From 2000 to 2022, the Company executed a number of important investment projects to enhance the UPS's reliability, including the building of about 4,000 km of 500 and 220 kV overhead lines (overhead lines), among other things.

Today KEGOC is rightfully the main power grid company of Kazakhstan. Since the first days of its foundation, the company has been implementing projects aimed at modernising and developing the infrastructure of power grid facilities.
