ASTANA, Kazakhstan, July 9. President of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, reviewed the operations of the first phase of the CHP-3 (Combined Heat and Power Plant 3) in Astana, where the Akim (Mayor) of Astana, Zhenis Kassymbek, reported to the President on the progress of the capital’s energy infrastructure development, Trend reports via the press service of the President of Kazakhstan.
As per the latest data, the urban thermal output has escalated
by 30 percent due to the operationalization of the initial phase of
CHP-3, alongside the activation of two gas-fired thermal generation
facilities—"Turan" and "Yugo-Vostok" (Southeast)—which collectively
contribute an augmented capacity of 1100 Gcal per hour.
This year, the strategic objective is to achieve the comprehensive
realization of the second phase of the "Turan" station project. The
ongoing development of the "Telman" station will progress, the
augmentation of CHP-2 is set to commence, and the architectural
planning for the gas thermal power facility "Yugo-Zapad"
(Southwest) will initiate as well. The execution of these
initiatives will facilitate the anticipated thermal energy
reserve's sustainability through to 2035.
Tokayev was also apprised of the strategic blueprint for the
construction of a combined cycle gas turbine unit, integral to the
second phase of CHP-3.
The chief executive was apprised that CHP-3 functions utilizing
natural gas, boasting a peak output capacity of 440 Gcal per hour.
The thermal energy generated sufficiently addresses the demand of
the southwestern sector of the metropolis. At present, initiatives
are in progress to equip the initial phase of CHP-3 with an
auxiliary fuel supply.
At the conclusion, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev underscored the
criticality of advancing the capital's energy infrastructure
paradigm.
