1928
The first diesel power station with three generators, each with a capacity of 170 kW, was
launched.
1936
An energy department was created under the People's Commissariat for Communal Service, the
Council of People's Commissars of the Kazakh SSR, within which an office for the operation
and installation of electrical networks was created.
1941
A branched line of 6 kV overhead power lines was created.
Before the start of the Great Patriotic War, the first 35 kV power transmission line and the CPP-
HPP-7-11 were built to supply power for the construction of the Alma-Ata Cascade Networks on
the Big Almatinka River, which began in 1937. With the onset of the Great Patriotic War, the
development of state electric networks was suspended. During this period, there was a tense
situation with electricity supply; some industrial enterprises and institutions were evacuated, and
all the workers' efforts were directed towards constructing the lower HPP of the hydroelectric
cascade on the Big Almatinka River. The rapid development of the Alma-Ata electric networks
characterized the post-war period.
1943
August 9
By Order No.157 of the People's Commissariat of Power Stations of the SSR, to organize the
power supply and maintain proper order in the operation of power stations and the construction
of new HPP in the territory of Kazakhstan, the Kazakh Regional Power Management
"Kazakhenergo" (renamed "Alma-Ataenergo" since 1963) was established in Alma-Ata city. It
was responsible for overseeing the Alma-Ata Central Power Plant (CPP), the Alma-Ata Electric
Network Management, and the newly constructed HPP after they commenced operations.
1947:
The first 35/6 kV electric substations were built and commissioned - AHMBP with a capacity of
10 MVA and the Kirov Plant with a capacity of 5.6 MVA.
The construction of power plants of the Cascade HPP has been resumed and the construction of
two 35kV chain overhead lines “Cascade HPP-CPP”, SS-35kV, CPP-ACB-90, constructed
OHL-35kV CPP-SS8 and SS-35/6kV was started.
1961:
The construction of the external 110 kV power supply ring of Almaty city was mostly
completed, and the 6 kV overhead power lines in the central part of the city were replaced with
cables. Due to the rapid development of electricity consumption in the Alma-Ata power system,
there was a shortage of electric power. A decision was made to construct a 220 kV power
transmission line, connecting the Alma-Ata and Kyrgyz power systems.
1968:
The 220 kV power line "Alma-Ata-Bystrovka-Frunze" was commissioned. In the same year, the
220 kV "Textile" substation was reconstructed, and a 220 kV outdoor switchgear was built at
AGDS.

1974:
The second 220 kV power transmission line "Alma-Ata-Glavnaya" was constructed and
commissioned.
1987:
A pivotal moment in the development of the Almaty power grid was the incorporation of the SS-
500 and the implementation of 500 kV voltage, achieved by connecting the OVL-500 kV and the
№514А “Almaty-Frunze” line, as well as an autotransformer group with a capacity of 167 MVA.
1992:
The 500kV "Agadyr-SK-SDPP-Alma-Ata" electric transmission lines were constructed, enabling
the reception of electricity during peak electrical loads from both the energy systems of Northern
Kazakhstan and Northern Asia. This ensured a reliable power supply to the consumers of the
Almaty power system by covering the power deficit in the Almaty and Taldykorgan regions with
electric sources from Northern Kazakhstan. Consequently, the Almaty Electricity Network
Enterprise became a highly developed energy enterprise within the Almaty power system,
capable of solving complex tasks in providing consumers with reliable and high-quality
electricity. The Almaty power system was integrated into the Unified Energy System.
1996
August
