Kulsary: power switched off for 10 hours to let an oversized heavy load through

An oversized heavy cargo move was planned in Kulsary (Zhylyoi district, Atyrau region) on 10 November 2026. Because of it, power was temporarily switched off from 09:00 to 19:00, the Ak Zhaiyk newspaper reported, citing the Zhylyoi district grid unit of Atyrau-Zharyk LLP.

The outage covered 17 micro-districts of Kulsary, the villages of Akkiztogay and Karagay, and businesses located in those areas.

Measures like this are part of route preparation for an oversized load: coordination with grid and infrastructure owners, time windows for the move, escorts. The taller and heavier the cargo, the more services take part, and the more important it is to build these steps into the schedule early.

Gateway Logistics moves oversized and heavy cargo on 45 t / 5-axle and 90 t / 10-axle lowbeds: route surveys, special permits and infrastructure-owner approvals, and delivery to site in Kazakhstan and along the China — Central Asia — Caspian — Caucasus — Türkiye corridors.
