The residents of the region will be notified in advance about the further possible extension of this power supply regime," the center reported.

Due to an emergency power outage by MAEK LLP, nitrous gas was released into the atmosphere at the KazAzot plant. Until the elimination of the accident at the MAEK power units, it was decided to introduce a rolling power outage in the region. The authorities also stated that they do not plan to introduce an emergency regime in the region yet. Earlier in early July, a power unit at the MAEK was shut down in an emergency, in connection with which restrictions were imposed on industrial enterprises. Due to a power outage, the Atyrau refinery was stopped. Then the government said it would take a number of urgent and systemic measures to prevent similar crisis situations in the future. These include the modernization and reconstruction of MAEK LLP, strengthening of the western energy zone, ensuring stable external power supply to the ANPP and building its own energy source there, connecting the western zone with the unified electric power system of Kazakhstan, etc. 4.9 billion tenge was allocated for the repair of the MAEK.
