Samruk-Kazyna JSC, together with its portfolio companies, conducted a comprehensive industrial safety audit at Alatau Zharyk Company JSC and Almaty Power Plants JSC (APP). The audit took place from February 9 to 13 of this year.

The purpose of the audit was to conduct a thorough assessment of the existing industrial safety management systems, compliance with occupational health and safety requirements, and the effectiveness of production risk management practices. Particular attention was paid to the implementation of digital solutions, including the development of video analytics systems utilizing artificial intelligence technologies.

Following the audit, a meeting was held with the participation of the top executives of the subsidiaries and affiliates of Samruk-Energy JSC. The meeting was chaired by Erbol Yelekeev, Head of the Occupational Safety Sector at Samruk-Kazyna JSC. Duysenbek Shardarbekov, Director of the Occupational Safety Department, attended on the part of Samruk-Energy JSC.

During the visit, Erbol Yelekeev also familiarized himself with the operation of the video analytics system implemented at APP JSC, including the practical use of AI-based tools for monitoring compliance with occupational health and safety requirements and for the prompt identification of potentially hazardous situations.

At the meeting, the audit findings were reviewed in detail, directions for further improvement were identified, and a set of corrective measures was defined. Special emphasis was placed on strengthening safety culture, developing preventive measures, and increasing personal accountability of managers at all levels for ensuring safe working conditions.

 

Based on the results of 2025, Ekibastuz SDPP-1 reached a historic maximum in electricity generation, producing 24.5 billion kWh, which accounts for 20% of the country’s total electricity production.

This record output was made possible by the successful implementation of the Unit 1 restoration project. For the first time in 30 years, the power plant is operating at its full installed capacity of 4,040 MW in an eight-unit configuration.

The commissioning of Unit 1, with a capacity of 540 MW and equipped with a modern automated process control system and enhanced technical characteristics, ensures stable and reliable electricity supply to households and industrial enterprises.

The project has also delivered several positive outcomes:
• creation of more than 50 additional jobs for plant operating personnel;
• meeting domestic electricity demand;
• increased industrial production.

Ekibastuz SDPP-1 is a flagship of Kazakhstan’s power sector and one of the largest coal-fired power plants in the world.

 

Bakhtiyar Mendybayev, an employee of Bogatyr Komir LLP, secured third place at the Samruk Ski Race held as part of the 2nd Winter Sports Games (spartakiad) for employees of Samruk-Kazyna Group. He finished third in the men’s 2.5 km event in the 51–60 age category.

More than 20 employees from across Samruk-Energy Group took part in the competition.

The event was organized to foster team spirit and promote a healthy lifestyle among employees of the Fund’s group of companies.

Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov, during a working trip to the Pavlodar Region, inspected the implementation of the President’s instructions on the Data Center Valley project based on the Ekibastuz energy hub.

To establish a special zone for hosting computing infrastructure, cloud services, and AI capacities, a land plot of 200 hectares has been allocated near Ekibastuz GRES-1, with the possibility of expanding the territory to more than 1,300 hectares in the future.

“By the President’s instruction, we are launching a large-scale infrastructure project—the Data Center Valley. This will provide a strong impetus for the development of the high-tech sector of the economy. All government bodies and responsible organizations must work with maximum dedication and efficiency to deliver results,” Olzhas Bektenov emphasized.

The Prime Minister was presented with the design concept of the Data Center Valley. Progress reports were delivered by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Development, Innovation and Aerospace Industry Zhaslan Madiyev, Akim of Pavlodar Region Asain Baikhanov, and Chairman of the Board of Kazakhtelecom Bagdat Mussin.

The Data Center Valley ecosystem will be created on the basis of the power capacities of the Ekibastuz energy hub. The concept предусматривает phased development of the facility with clearly defined parameters for capacity commissioning and the use of existing power infrastructure. The project includes the construction of 15 km of power transmission lines and step-down substation infrastructure with a capacity of 300 MW, expandable to 1 GW in the future. The project provides for the creation of 500 new high-skilled jobs in energy, operation of computing capacities, artificial intelligence, and related fields. Accordingly, emphasis is placed on training highly qualified IT specialists.

Special attention is given to creating favorable conditions for investors, including infrastructure, tariff formation, and tax incentives based on special economic zone principles. The projected investment volume for the project is about $30 billion. Negotiations with major international companies are currently underway.

The Prime Minister noted the strategic importance of the Data Center Valley in the context of Kazakhstan’s digital economy development. The Ministry of Digital Development, Innovation and Aerospace Industry, the Ministry of Energy, the Pavlodar Region akimat, together with Kazakhtelecom, were instructed to ensure all necessary conditions and infrastructure for accelerated project implementation.

“This is the industry of the future. It is important to leverage our competitive advantages. All prerequisites for the project are in place—electricity, climate, and the Trans-Caspian cable. Therefore, submit all decisions that need to be made and move forward without unnecessary bureaucracy. I will personally oversee this project. We must complete this entire path as quickly as possible and proceed to operations, signing contracts and supplying capacities to global companies,” Olzhas Bektenov emphasized.
