Jewel of the Caspian Sea

Aqtau did not begin it's existence until 1963. I was originally built as a "Soviet Model" of how cities should be built. It has wide, straight streets and sandy beaches. It was called Shevkenko for awhile because of a poet who was exiled there as a political prisoner. Aqtau means "white mountain" in Kazak, so named after the vast, flat steppes surrounding the city! It has become somewhat of a tourist location because of it's location along the Caspian Sea. Just don't plan on taking a bath while you are there as the water comes out of the tap brown.

Thanks to the concluded agreement, the region will be regularly provided with hot and cold water. The Minister expected that as the production of water, electricity and heat became cheaper, the retail tariffs for the population would be kept at the same level.

KAZAKHSTAN: ENERGY PROFILE

CURRENTLY, KAZAKHSTAN HAS 54 THERMO-ELECTRIC POWER STATIONS, FIVE HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER STATIONS, AND ONE NUCLEAR POWER STATION (IN THE WESTERN PORT CITY OF AKTAU). MOST OF KAZAKHSTAN'S POWER GENERATION PLANTS ARE OBSOLETE AND NEED TO BE REPLACED OR UPGRADED. NINETY-FOUR PERCENT OF GAS TURBINES, 57 PERCENT OF STEAM TURBINES, AND 33 PERCENT OF STEAM BOILERS HAVE BEEN IN USE FOR 20 YEARS OR MORE. ALTHOUGH THIS EQUIPMENT NEEDS TO BE UPGRADED OR REPLACED, KAZAKHSTAN'S PAYMENT CRISIS WILL LIMIT IMMEDIATE LARGE-SCALE IMPORTS OF U.S. PRODUCTS.
