ASTANA, Kazakhstan, October 30. In the Abay region of Kazakhstan, work is underway to build a new thermal power plant, Trend reports.
Currently, Samruk-Energy JSC is developing a feasibility study for the project, which is scheduled to be completed by the end of this year.
It is planned to create a modern heat source based on effective technology for the combined production of heat and electricity, using modern equipment for burning solid fuels and purifying flue gases from pollutants.
This year, large-scale work has been carried out in the Abay region to reconstruct heating networks and sources. More than 40 km of heating networks were repaired for a total of 23.9 billion tenge ($50.8 million).
Work on the reconstruction of the "Center" and "Gabbasova" boiler houses is being completed, which will provide an increase in thermal power capacity of a total of 40 Gcal/hour.
Today, most boilers at these facilities are 100 percent ready to ensure a high-quality heating season.
Major repairs of 10 power units, 49 boilers, and 54 turbines are planned at power plants in Kazakhstan in accordance with the approved schedule.
To date, work is being carried out on 5 power units, 23 boilers, and 20 turbines. At the same time, the repair of three power units, 17 boilers, and 13 turbines has already been completed. Along with this, it is planned to overhaul power lines with a total length of about 25,300 km and 567 substations, as well as 3,500 distribution points and transformer substations. To date, work has been completed on 22,700 km of power lines, 514 substations, 3,466 distribution points, and transformers.
