• Generation of additional volumes of electricity at the Kerbulak HPP;
• Income from the sale of the regulating capacity of the Kapshagay HPP in the amount of 110 MW

Status.

At present, the activities on the development of the Project’s FS and obtaining a tariff that secure the project’s payback, is underway.

The project description: Replacement of obsolete and worn-out equipment for reliable energy supply of consumers with electricity and maximum use of Big Almaty river’s energy capacity.

The project goal:

• increase in installed capacity by 7,5 MW;
• increase in electricity production by 41,7 mln. kWh annually;
• ensuring the reliability and safety of operation of the HPP Cascade;

Construction and installation works

The project goal: The project "Reconstruction of the Almaty CHP-3 based on CCGT unit with an increase in the station's capacity to 450 MW" is implemented in accordance with the roadmap for a comprehensive solution of environmental issues in Nur-Sultan and Almaty cities.

The project description: Reconstruction of the Almaty CHP-3 including construction of  450 MW CCGT unit to partially cover the shortage of maneuvering capacities in the southern zone of Kazakhstan. In order to provide consumers of Almaty city and Almaty region with a reliable and uninterrupted supply of electricity and heat in accordance with load schedules and temperature conditions.

Implementation period: 2021-2024

Status: Public hearings on the results of the Preliminary Environmental Impact Assessment as part of the Project’s FS were held as open meeting on January 14, 2022. A feasibility study is under development. The project’s FS considers the use of GTP + RB and / or 450 MW CCGT including the ability to operate in a maneuverable mode.

To ensure the completion of the construction of the new station at the ACHP-3 site, in December 2024, “AlES” JSC plans to conclude an EPC contract. The conclusion of the EPC contract is planned through an open international two-stage tender by holding a reversed auction.

The project goal: Reducing the negative environmental impact of Almaty CHP-2 on the environmental situation in Almaty city by transfer the station to firing natural gas. In order to provide consumers of Almaty city and Almaty region with a reliable and uninterrupted supply of heat and electricity in accordance with load

The project description: Construction of the new station using gas turbine technologies with a capacity of up to 600 MW at the site of Almaty CHP-2. The project is implemented to execute the instructions of N.A. Nazarbayev, the First President of the Republic of Kazakhstan – Elbasy No. 17-01-7.8 dated September 20, 2017, as well as in pursuance of the order of Tokayev K.K, the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated July 10, 2021 to ensure the construction of the new combined cycle gas turbine unit at Almaty CHP-2 with commissioning in December 2023.

Implementation period: 2022-2026

Financing:

"Samruk-Energy" JSC conducts negotiations and carries out preparatory activities for arranging of financing. As of today, arranging of financing with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (hereinafter - the EBRD) is considered in detail.

As part of the ongoing work, the EBRD is dealing with detailed study of the Project at a level sufficient to make a decision on its possible financing.

EBRD consultants conducted An Environmental and Social Impact Assessment and submitted a report that includes the following materials:

1. Environmental and Social Action Plan for Modernisation of CHP 2;
2. Non-Technical Summary;
3. Resettlement Framework;
4. Stakeholder Engagement Plan;
5. Report on possible Environmental impacts.

Status: A positive conclusion on FS of the project was received from RSE "Gosexpertiza" on December 30, 2021.

To ensure the completion of the construction of a new station at the ACHP-2 site within the planned time frame, “APP” JSC plans to conclude an EPC contract with an individual plan for the phased development of design and estimated documentation and obtaining an approval from an authorized body with the support of experts.

The implementation of the Project jointly with the EBRD, exclusively based on an open international two-stage tender, ensures transparency, and obtains the most competitive final cost.

The project implementation goal: Expansion of  Almaty CHP-1 with the construction of 200-250 MW CCGT unit to ensure the reliability of heat and electricity supply to Almaty city.

The project description: To provide consumers of Almaty city and Almaty region with a reliable and uninterrupted supply of electricity and heat in accordance with load schedules and temperature conditions, it is planned to increase the capacity from 145 MW to 200-250 MW. The final capacity and cost of the Project will be determined after considering the results of the feasibility study.

Implementation period: 2021-2024
