Current Issues of the Power Grid Company of Wes-tern Kazakhstan

Abstract

Relevance: The National Energy System of Kazakhstan faces significant challenges due to aging infrastructure. In most regions, power transmission lines and distribution networks are worn out by 60–80%, which critically affects the reliability and stability of the national power supply. Analyzing the condition of power grids in the West Kazakhstan region is essential to identify critical issues and develop effective modernization measures.

Aim: to assess the current state of power grids in the West Kazakhstan region, identify the main problems associated with the deterioration of power transmission lines across Kazakhstan, and review the Ministry of Energy’s plans to address these issues.

Methods: technical analysis of power transmission lines and distribution networks; review of statistical data and official reports from the Ministry of Energy of Kazakhstan; evaluation of proposed measures for the repair and reconstruction of energy infrastructure at regional and national levels.

Results: established a high degree of deterioration of power lines and distribution networks in most regions; identified key challenges undermining the reliability of electricity supply; highlighted the Ministry of Energy’s strategies for phased modernization of the transmission infrastructure; emphasized the necessity of a comprehensive approach to repair and reconstruction to ensure the efficiency and resilience of Kazakhstan’s energy system.
