Ekibastuz CHP successfully powered through the 2024–2025 autumn-winter season, delivering reliable equipment performance and uninterrupted heat supply to customers.
Pre-season upgrades and repairs slashed fuel consumption significantly: mazut (heavy fuel oil) usage dropped 3.5 times, from 3,284 tons to 949 tons. This reduction reflects stable operation of core equipment and a boost in the plant’s overall efficiency.
In June 2024, Ekibastuz CHP was placed under the trust management of Samruk-Energy JSC Its subsidiary, Energy Solutions Center LLP swiftly executed extensive repairs and prepped the plant for winter.
The work included major and routine maintenance on ten boiler units, one turbine unit, auxiliary systems, and plant-wide infrastructure. Repairs were also completed on the ash dump dam, buildings, and structures, alongside the construction of a clarified water pipeline within the plant’s premises.
These efforts, part of the 2024–2025 heating season preparations, reduced core equipment wear by 3.7%, from 51.8% to 48.1%, and cut technological disruptions by 90%, from 191 to 18. Notably, no disruptions during the autumn-winter period impacted heat supply reliability.
