Energy saving


The Company, being the largest consumer of energy resources in the Republic of Kazakhstan, strives to continuously improve energy efficiency by reducing energy consumption.

Since 2008, the Company has been actively pursuing an energy saving policy. Thus, in October 2008, by the decision of the Company's Management Board, an Energy Saving Program was approved for the period 2008-2013, as a result of which about 229 thousand tons of conventional fuel were saved. Due to the release in 2012 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 541-IV "On Energy Saving and Energy Efficiency Improvement" (hereinafter - the Law), the Energy Saving Program of JSC NC KTZ was re-approved in 2013 for the period up to 2020, which defined the task of saving 1.9 million tons of conventional fuel in the amount of about 152 billion tenge. In fact, over the period of the Program and the implementation of energy saving measures, more than 1.9 million tons of conventional fuel were saved in the amount of more than 200 billion tenge.

In accordance with the requirements of the Law, since 2014, the Company has been undergoing a mandatory energy audit at least once every 5 years. Based on the results of the audits, energy saving and energy efficiency measures have been developed aimed at reducing annual costs for fuel and energy resources.

As a result of the energy audit conducted in 2019, an Action Plan for Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving until 2024  ​was approved.

In the period from 2019 to 2023, more than 0.8 million tons of conventional fuel were saved due to the implementation of energy saving measures by JSC NC KTZ ( Report on the implementation of energy saving measures in the period from 2019 until 2023 ). 

In 2023, the activities of the specified Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving Plan until 2024 were included in  the Action Plan for the Low-carbon Development of JSC NC KTZ and its subsidiaries for the period 2023-2027 , according to the results of which in 2023 the consumption of fuel and energy resources in the amount of 150 thousand was saved. GJ. 

The main measures through which energy savings have been achieved:

• the introduction of new locomotives with an economical engine that reduces specific fuel consumption by up to 15 percent and at the same time demonstrates higher traction characteristics compared to locomotives of older models;
• conversion of boiler houses from solid to gaseous fuels and electricity, connection of heating systems of industrial buildings to the city central heat supply;
• implementation of an automated train power control system (ACS EDT);
• conversion of outdoor lighting stations to LED lighting.

At the same time, since 2014, the Company has been successfully undergoing an annual certification audit for compliance with the requirements of the international standard ISO 50001 (version 2011, 2018) on the energy management system, which contributes to energy efficiency. 

Confirmation of compliance with the principles of the ISO 50001:2018 standard is a certificate received in 2023 from the international auditors of Intersertifica – TUF LLC together with TUF Thuringen. (The certificate)

In order to maintain the Company's compliance with the requirements of the international standard ISO 50001:2018 "Energy management systems. Requirements and guidelines for use" On December 26, 2023, by order of the Deputy Chairman of the Company's Management Board,  the "Guidance on the Energy Management System of JSC NC KTZ (third edition) was approved.

The manual describes the systems and processes for improving energy efficiency. Its application reduces energy consumption through a systematic approach to energy management.

In addition, in order to improve the energy management system in the Company, on September 11, 2014, Order No. 630-ЦЗ approved the standard ST JSC 1.11-2024 "Energy Analysis methodology. General requirements for the design, consumption, calculation of energy analysis , on the basis of which a constant analysis of fuel and energy resources is conducted.
