Today, a Government meeting chaired by Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan Olzhas Bektenov addressed the progress of the heating season and fire safety issues. The region akim Murat Ergeshbayev took part in the meeting via videoconference.
The heating season across the country is proceeding as scheduled. Consumers and the municipal services sector are supplied with coal. Kyzylorda region ranks first in the country in terms of replenishing coal reserves. To date, 82% of the required coal supply has been delivered to storage facilities.
Measures to prevent fires in residential areas have been strengthened, with preventive efforts increasingly transitioning to digital platforms. To improve the effectiveness of these measures, the Tumar 112 digital application is being developed.
Following the Government meeting, the regional governor held a meeting and issued specific instructions to ensure a stable and uninterrupted heating season.
In the region, 1079 social facilities and 943 apartment buildings are connected to the centralized heating system.
Currently, the region's heating facilities generate 205 megawatts of electricity and 154 gigacalories of thermal energy per hour. At the new combined heat and power plant, two gas turbine units generate 172 megawatts of electricity.
The total coal requirement for the heating season amounts to 80,000 tonnes, including 68,000 tonnes for households and 12,000 tonnes for social facilities. Regional operators are currently replenishing coal reserves in accordance with the approved schedule.
"Ensuring a stable heating season is one of our key priorities. In this regard, particular attention must be paid to the uninterrupted operation of engineering networks and the proper supply of heat to residential buildings and social facilities.
Accordingly, city and district akims, as well as heads of all institutions, must personally oversee the heating supply to residential buildings and facilities under their supervision. The readiness of emergency response teams must be strengthened, and sufficient stocks of necessary material and technical resources must be maintained.
Furthermore, strict control must be exercised over excavation works to prevent damage to engineering networks, while fire safety must remain a priority. The akims of Kyzylorda city and the districts, together with the Department of Emergency Situations, must take prompt and comprehensive measures to prevent emergencies," said Murat Nalkozhaevich.
The meeting also addressed the need to accelerate the construction of fire stations under the "Village Rescuers" project, maintain proper sanitary conditions, and ensure systematic landscaping and greening efforts.
