The modernization of electrical networks is underway in the Kyzylorda Region.

There are 10,608 km of electrical networks and 2,068 various substations in the Kyzylorda Region. Most of these were put into operation in the 1960s and 1970s, and currently, 60% of them are considered worn out.

In 2022, 100 km of electrical networks and 32 substations with a 1 kV RP-10 were installed through 2 projects. This reduced the wear and tear of the electrical networks from 69% to 68%.

In 2023, 232 km of electrical networks and 95 substations were reconstructed under 6 projects, further reducing the wear rate from 68% to 66%.

By the end of 2024, 418 km of electrical networks and 73 substations will have been reconstructed across 10 projects. This is expected to decrease the wear rate from 66% to 62% by year's end.

Projects worth 6 billion tenge will be implemented in 2025. Specifically, 280 km of electrical networks will undergo reconstruction for 3.1 billion tenge, and 87 substations for 2.9 billion tenge.

Under the investment program of "Kyzylorda Distribution Electrical Network Company," 40.2 km of overhead lines have been reconstructed at a cost of 532.6 million tenge.

In 2026, 9 projects with a total value of 3.1 billion tenge are planned. They include the reconstruction of 240 km, 52 units of CTPS 10/0.4 kV, overhead lines 110/35 kV, and 1 substation 35 kV. This will aim to reduce the wear rate from 60% to 59%.

Gasification of settlements in the Kyzylorda region is progressing steadily.

Currently, the region encompasses 4 cities and 222 rural settlements. All cities, including Kyzylorda, Aral, Kazalinsk, and Baikonur, are fully gasified. The number of rural settlements connected to the gas supply has reached 56. By the end of 2025, the region's gasification rate is projected to reach 83%.

In 2026, 4.3 billion tenge is allocated for the implementation of 14 projects; 3.6 billion tenge from the national budget and 0.7 billion tenge from the regional budget. Among these, 2 projects are ongoing, and 12 are new initiatives.

Accordingly, budget requests have been submitted to clarify the national budget for 19 projects totaling 8.1 billion tenge.

By the end of this year, gasification projects are planned for 10 settlements (Akzharma, Kamystybas, Kogalykyl, Chirkeli, Torebai Bi, Irkol, Bekarystan Bi, Zhankozha Batyr, Tuktibaev, Maidakol), aiming to raise the gasification level from 83% to 85%.
