Kazakh and Russian experts shared their experience of energy saving in public sector organizations

The international exhibition KazInter Power was held in Pavlodar, which brought together specialists in the field of energy saving from Russia and Kazakhstan.

Today, energy saving issues are given equally great attention both in Russia and in Kazakhstan. Only the approaches differ. For example, energy-saving modernization of social and cultural facilities is currently in full swing in Kazakhstan, when the state installs energy-saving heat and electricity metering devices in schools, kindergartens, hospitals at the expense of budget funds. Due to this, one million kilowatt-hours of electricity were saved in the Pavlodar region last year. Murat Abulkalykov, Deputy Head of the Department of Energy and Housing and Communal Services of the Pavlodar region, provided such data during the round table.

During the exhibition, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of JSC "Electric power and energy saving development Institute" Olzhas Alibekov presented the main accents of the current energy saving policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan. According to him, Kazakhstan faces the task of reducing the energy intensity of GDP by 25% by 2020. As a result, significant cost savings are expected. You can see the full presentation on the key areas of energy saving policy in the Republic of Kazakhstan here:

In the Sverdlovsk region, which was represented at the round table by Russian speakers, the savings from the implementation of modern approaches in energy saving are much more significant: 300 million rubles a year. In general, the experience of Yekaterinburg residents is very interesting for Kazakhstan. At least because in Russia for several years now, control over the consumption of fuel and energy resources has been carried out not in the off-line mode, as is currently being done in Kazakhstan, but through online, which Kazakhstan is only striving for.

-We passed the control via the off — line, when state consumers of energy resources visited our website, entered their logins and password and personally filled in data on how much and for what period of time they spent water, heat, electricity, - said the director of the state budgetary institution of the Sverdlovsk region "Institute of Energy Saving named after Danilov" Sergey Bannykh. – However, soon, checking the content of the site, we began to notice a lot of inconsistencies. Often, the director of a budget kindergarten spent such an amount of heat on a hundred squares of the area, as if he did not have a preschool institution, but a whole factory of several thousand square meters.

Thus, through trial and error, the Institute's specialists have developed a regional information and analytical system " Resource Saving Matrix", which today combines six working modules. Each of them is interesting in itself. Take, for example, the Energy Atlas, which is a map of the Sverdlovsk region with all the streets and buildings with an eye to energy schemes. Each building on this map has its own scheme for summing up all communications, calculating the consumption of water, heat, and electricity. This approach, in addition to energy saving, is also convenient because it allows the authorities to calculate the energy capacity in a particular city municipality in order to make a decision on the need to build some kind of social and cultural facility in this area.
