Working Together Towards More Energy Efficient Distribution Power Transformers In Kazakhstan

July 29, 2020

In Kazakhstan electricity consumption has been steadily rising since the late 1990s. The country predominantly relies on coal-based energy generation which directly leads to high emissions of CO2, the main greenhouse gas: in 2014 the annual total of CO2 emissions approached 70 million tonnes. A significant technical potential to reduce emissions lies in increasing the efficiency of common electricity-intensive appliances and equipment. Heavy equipment such as Power Transformers lose nearly 5 per ...Read More
