“Because the system is completely worn out in Ekibastuz, and the highest increase in tariffs is expected there. They (the owners of the thermal power plant - KazTAG) announced more than twofold growth, we are holding it back. Here are examples for you - Ekibastuz and Ridder. We want to increase smoothly, for example, for heating from March 1 or April 1,” said Alibek Kuantirov , Minister of National Economy on the sidelines of the government.
According to him, tariffs and terms will be reported after reaching the agreement. He also added that the owners of the Ekibastuz thermal power plant asked to raise tariffs by 107% immediately.
