Kazakh government allocates 4.9 billion tenge to upgrade Mangystau Atomic Energy Complex

Kazakhstan’s government allocated nearly five billion tenge to repair the Mangystau Atomic Energy Complex to ensure its reliable and trouble-free running. Prime Minister Alikhan Smailov signed the corresponding decree. According to his press service, the funds will be directed to procure the necessary auxiliary equipment and components, whose replacement will allow maintaining the performance of the atomic energy complex and monitoring the safety during operation. In addition to modernizing and reconstructing the plant, it is planned to enhance the western energy zone, ensure the stable external power supply of the Atyrau oil refinery, and build its own energy source there. Apart from that, the western zone is expected to be connected with the Kazakhstan’s unified electric power system.
