Project Purpose:

Reducing the level of wear and tear of power grids.

Reconstruction, modernisation and new construction in order to increase transformer capacity and cover the capacity deficit for new and existing consumers.

Reconstruction of power grids with replacement of overloaded and expired cable networks not requiring connection of new consumers in order to increase reliability of power supply and reduce technological failures.

Description of the project:

The total number of 10-6-0.4kV cable lines across Almaty is 4,424 km. According to GOST, the service life of power cables is 30 years.

Currently, 2,478.76 kilometres of 10-6-0.4kV cable lines in Almaty or 56% of the total volume of cable lines have service life of more than 30 years.

In general, 948 kilometres of cable lines in Almaty have service life over 50 years.

Worn-out lines lead to an annual increase in the number of accidents and frequent interruptions in power supply, which leads to under-supply of electricity and additional costs for emergency recovery work. The main causes of damage are ageing of insulation, breach of tightness, corrosive deterioration of cable sheathing.

Within the framework of this project it is planned to carry out measures on reconstruction of cable networks 10-6-0,4kV for the total amount of 83 300 000 thousand tenge excluding VAT with the total volume of reconstruction of networks about 933 km.

Construction and installation works

The project description: In October 1996, the power unit was decommissioned. The downtime of the power unit without its conservation was about 24 years. Most of the units of the main and auxiliary equipment were dismantled. Most of the unit's auxiliary equipment is missing due to its use for repair and restoration work of other power units. The boiler, turbine and the rest of the auxiliary equipment are now obsolete, have undergone corrosive and erosive wear and are inapplicable for further operation.

The project “Rehabilitation of power unit No. 1 with the installation of new electrostatic precipitators” is aimed at the construction of a power unit with an installed capacity of 500 MW with the installation of new electrostatic precipitators, which will increase the installed capacity of GRES-1 to 4 000 MW.

The project goals:

• growth of current capacity up to 4000 MW;
• creation of new jobs;
• secure compliance with environmental standards through the installation of electrostatic precipitators
• increasing the reliability of equipment operation and reducing the risk of accidents
• cover the shortage of electricity in the Unified Energy System of Kazakhstan
