17 sets of SF6 circuit-breakers were installed.<br />
This equipment and the equipment installed<br />
under the Kazakhstan Electricity Transmission<br />
Rehabilitation Project comply with environmental<br />
standards and reduce negative impact<br />
on the environment.<br />
During construction works on substation<br />
upgrading and line construction all actions<br />
are performed in line with air, land, surface<br />
and underground water protection.<br />
When planning NPG development<br />
projects – new investment projects for the<br />
upgrading and construction of electric grid<br />
facilities – the Terms of Reference include<br />
requirements for meeting environmental legislation<br />
during designing and implementation<br />
of projects. At present during implementation<br />
of the Kazakhstan Electricity Transmission<br />
Rehabilitation Project – Phase II, Moinak<br />
Electricity Transmission Project, Alma Electricity<br />
Transmission Project, and Reconstruction<br />
of 220 kV OHTL TsGPP–Ossakarovka Project,<br />
the preliminary environmental impact assessment<br />
(PEIA) is carried out under the FS of the<br />
projects mentioned. The opinions of the State<br />
Environmental Experts for PEIA was obtained<br />
for both the Kazakhstan Electricity Transmission<br />
Rehabilitation Project – Phase II and the<br />
Alma Electricity Transmission Project.<br />
During the environmental impact assessment<br />
of the new projects the Company<br />
considers the opinions of stakeholders and<br />
conducts public hearings. Thus, in 2009 the<br />
hearings were conducted for the Moinak<br />
Electricity Transmission Project and Alma<br />
Electricity Transmission Project.<br />
The World Bank conducted its own<br />
independent assessment of these projects,<br />
and based on its findings the projects are acknowledged<br />
to comply with the environmental<br />
policy of the Bank. It should be noted that<br />
the environmental actions of KEGOC were<br />
also acknowledged as satisfactory under the<br />
other projects implemented by the Company.<br />
