Kazakhstan to upgrade 9 power units, 55 boilers, and 51 turbines
The Kazakh Energy Ministry announced on Friday it continues upgrading the energy infrastructure of the country to implement the directives from the Head of State, Qazinform News Agency reports.
Repairs of nine power units, 55 boilers, and 51 turbines planned for this year are expected to reduce the CHP depreciation rate from 61% to 59%. This approach not only helps improve performance, but also mitigate their high-risk status.
Kazakhstan continues its 5-year National project for the modernization of the energy sector into 2026, which provides for an unprecedented volume of work to upgrade the utility system.
The program envisions upgrading 1,600 km of heating networks and 78,000 km of power grids within a 5-year period. This will lead to the depreciation rate of heating networks reducing from 52% to 42%, and that of power grids from 74% to 45% by 2029.
Earlier, Qazinform reported investors eye the AI-powered energy future in Kazakhstan.
