The Almaty-2 power station is owned and operated by Almaty Power Plants JSC, which is fully owned by Samruk-Energo, which in turn is owned by the National Welfare Fund of Kazakhstan Samruk-Kazyna. Almaty Power Plants also includes Almaty-1 power station and the Almaty-3 power station.
Almaty-2 power station (ТЭЦ-2 имени А. Жакутова, АО "АлЭС" Алматинская ТЭЦ - 2) is an operating power station of at least 510-megawatts (MW) in Almaty, Alatau, Kazakhstan with multiple units, some of which are not currently operating. The map below shows the exact location of the power station. Loading map... Unit-level coordinates (WGS 84):
In September 2017, then President Nazarbayev instructed the Akim (Mayor) and Samruk-Kazyna SWF JSC to take measures to transfer Almaty-2 power station to gas by 2020 and to complete the gasification of the private sector. Almaty-2 power station and Almaty-3 power station burn about 3 million tons of coal per year.
The 510 MW power station has plans for additional gas-fired units of up to 600MW which will replace the existing coal-fired units by 2026. The 510 MW power station is the largest thermal power plant in the region and provides Almaty with 60% heat supply and 40% electricity.
Reconstruction of Almaty CHPP-3 provides for the construction of a completely new power plant with significantly greater power and maneuverability. The new power plant will combine the generation of electrical and thermal energy.
According to the EBRD project summary, the project will be developed in three phases with the first phase consisting of a 200 MW unit. The total duration of modernization of Almaty CHP-2 will be 65.5 months during 2022-2026.
