"Astanaenergosbyt" ceases to supply heat for homes in the capital
Revised Article:
Heads up, Astana residents! A big change is coming for heat energy supply starting July 1, 2025, as reported by Vechernyaya Astana. Here's the lowdown.
Starting next year, AО "Astana - Teplotransit" will take over the responsibility of heat energy supply to consumers across the city. Legal entities and private homeowners are advised to re-sign the contract. Meanwhile, apartment owners and non-residential property owners in multifamily residential buildings will automatically become clients of AО "Astana - Teplotransit" from the same date.
So, if you fall into any of those categories, it's time to roll up your sleeves and get ready to sign the new contract. Head over to Turan Avenue, 12, during business hours—Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM, with a lunch break from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM.
Now, here's a bit more about what's been going on behind the scenes. As you might know, Kazakhstan is working on upgrading its outdated energy infrastructure, including heat networks. In Astana, about half of the heat networks are more than 40 years old, and the government plans to invest a whopping $168 billion through 2030 for the modernization project[1]. These updates could bring about improvements in the reliability and efficiency of heat supply.
As of now, there's no specific regulatory change or new tariff structure solely for apartment or non-residential property owners in multifamily buildings in Astana effective from July 1, 2025. The Kazakh government is focusing on diversifying the energy mix, reducing emissions, and improving energy sovereignty through nuclear and renewable energy sources[2]. Despite this, any future adjustments to heat energy supply are likely to be tied to broader infrastructure projects, enhancements to district heating networks, or a shift towards increased renewable or nuclear input.
So, while there's no immediate change to worry about for next year, it's always good to stay informed. Keep an eye out for more updates, and get ready to welcome AО "Astana - Teplotransit" into your lives starting July 1, 2025!

- In the context of Astana's heat energy supply transition, it would be prudent for industries requiring consistent heat supply to discuss their contracts with AО "Astana - Teplotransit" for a seamless transition, considering the industry's reliance on uninterrupted energy supply.
- The Kazakh government's focus on modernizing energy infrastructure and diversifying the energy mix towards renewable and nuclear sources also has implications for the finance sector, as greater investments in these areas could potentially open up new avenues for financial institutions to support these projects.
