ASTANA. January 9. KAZINFORM – “Almaty power stations” JSC (subsidiary of “Samruk-Energy” JSC) as the largest generating company carries out a professional work on providing uninterrupted power and heat supply in Almaty region.
The share of heat and power generation from total energy consumption on the Almaty region is as follows: electricity - 72% (in 2011, 5.4 billion kWh; total consumption of 7.5 billion kWh), heat -70% (in 2011, 5.7 million Gcal; total consumption of 8.4 million Gcal.).
The age of the "AlES" JSC energy sources are from 31 to 76 years. To maintain the current production level of energy sources repair campaign fully carried out in 2011 in accordance with the approved schedule. All power equipment repaired to 100%, repair costs amounted to 4.5 bln. tenge.
In order to ensure trouble-free operation of the generating equipment, the necessary fuel reserves, chemicals and spare parts for the operational needs of the energy sources of "AlES" were created. Monthly coal reserves (454.1 thousands of tons) and fuel oil(43.4 thousands oftons)have been established.
At 22.11.2011 company got a Passport of Committee of State Energy Supervision and Control of RK MINT on readiness for the autumn-winter period of 2011-2012.

- cooling towers at CHP-2 and CHP-3. As a result of the project due to the removal of existing restrictions the increase of the available electric powerwill be 132 MW, which allows to generate additionally more than 585 million KWh per year of electricity. This will help to increase the reliability of power supply in Almaty region.
