KEGOC completed construction and installation work on two sections of the 220 kV transit under construction in the Western region

KEGOC JSC is implementing an infrastructure project to increase the capacity and reliability of power supply to consumers in the Western zone of the power system of Kazakhstan.

It is planned to build a second circuit of the existing 220 kV transit Uralskaya-Pravoberezhnaya-Inder-Karabatan-Kulsary-Tengiz, 779.7 kilometers long, with the expansion of existing 220 kV substations and the construction of a new 220 kV Karabatan distribution substation.

To date, construction and installation work has been fully completed at two sections - Uralskaya-Pravoberezhnaya and Inder-Karabatan, with a total length of 300 km.

The project worth 50.172 billion tenge is being implemented at the expense of the company's own funds. The project is planned to be completed within the established time frame by the end of this year.

The full implementation of the project will double the capacity of the existing transit, which will significantly increase the reliability of power supply to consumers in the Western zone of the UPS of Kazakhstan.

The project has a social significance - about 100 units of special equipment and 300 employees of contracting organizations were involved during the construction period, and after commissioning, 23 people will be hired for permanent work. In addition, domestically produced materials and equipment are widely used in the implementation of the project.
