Kazakhstan power system plans to spend the US $470.9 million (about 3.25 billion yuan) building a 500kW high voltage transmission project, connecting the Northern, Eastern, and southern power grids, designed to create a modern electrical grid infrastructure, Kazakhstan provides uninterrupted power in many areas.
According to reports, the high-voltage transmission project was completed in two phases: an investment of about $158.9 million (about RMB 1.1 billion), the construction of a high voltage transmission line connecting Ekibastuz-Shulbinskaya-Ust-Kamenogorsk, is expected to be completed in 2017.
The second phase project of a high voltage transmission line was built connecting Shulbinskaya-Aktogai-Taldykorgan-Alma.
Kazakhstan power Director Bauyrzhan Sarsenov said the Department of energy, the construction of the high voltage transmission project will achieve get adequate power from the North East region, thereby reducing imports from Russia's reliance on electricity.
Kazakhstan energy "as Kazakhstan's rapid economic development, the previous transmission line transmission capacity during peak hours. The high voltage transmission project, project's main goal is to build independent of Russia the power transmission infrastructure networks, and ensure coverage of Kazakhstan's Eastern power grid system. Construction of the second phase of the project is to ensure the country's energy security. In addition, equipped with 500 kWAktogai substations will be put into operation as part of the project. This will ensure uninterrupted transmission in order to meet the needs of nearby mines. ”
Currently, Kazakhstan is carrying out the high voltage transmission grid company project financing but has yet to consider increasing electricity prices to obtain funding.
