Kazakhstan’s president has asked his government to consider nationalizing “problematic” power plants after a breakdown left residents of a northern town battling the depths of winter inside their homes.

As of November 28, central heating had been restored to most residents, authorities said, with representatives of Kazakhstan’s ruling party Amanat, the Energy Ministry attributed the cause to damage in the piping system that delivers steam throughout the city, which caused a drop in pressure and the shutdown of five boilers in short order.
The statement blamed accidents and electricity supply problems on “poor quality of management” at the facilities, and said the state would extend material support to Ekibastuz residents. For Tokayev, who has vowed not to extend his presidency beyond the seven-year term that he secured in anon November 20, a brittle, aging and under-funded energy system has become a pressing problem.
