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.

Status:

Construction and installation works are being carried out on 11 objects having DED with the length of 267 km.   Adjustment of the design and construction plans for 4 objects is underway.

Implementation terms: 2022-2030.

Operation: 2024-2030.

Planned activities:

Phased design and construction and installation works 2023-2030.
