Heat and gas prices to rise in Kazakhstan - Nazarbayev

“The heat price will rise in Kazakhstan whether you wish it or don't; the price of gas will also increase and draw near the global tariffs,” said Nursultan Nazarbayev on July 2 at the meeting on the implementation of the state program of forced industrial-innovative development, ca-news.org reports.

In this connection, businesses, enterprises and plants will have to purchase and install energy-saving equipment in order to avoid losses.

"Factories and businesses must turn to saving energy. This means they have to install new equipment. This is what industrialization isabout,” said Nazarbayev.
