Background
The power station is related to Almaty-2 power station and Almaty-3 power station, all of which are owned by Almaty Power Plants JSC (JSC "AlES").
Almaty-1 currently has a total operating capacity of 145 MW (2x60 MW, 1x25 MW).[16][17] Units 9 and 10 were originally coal-fired[18], however they were switched to gas in 2017.[19][20]
New announced gas-fired unit
In April 2021, Samruk-Energo JSC noted a potential 200-250 MW gas unit expansion at the site because Almaty-1 power station was in need of expanding the infrastructure: free space, an operating gas transmission system, and power grid facilities for generating electrical power.[20] The application for the approval of technical design for the project was expected to be submitted by Q3 2022.[21] As of April 2023, the project is seeking governmental approvals. The technical design of the project was approved by RSE Gosexpertiza in January of 2023. The project will be implemented in 2024-2029[22]. In May 2023, the government of Kazakhstan approved the General Roadmap for the City of Almaty until 2040, which included expansion of the power station.[23]
In November 2023, it was reported that the project would be implemented in 2025-2028.[24] In January 2024, Energy Minister Almassadam Satkaliyev during a government session reported that corporate procedures were underway to approve the results of the feasibility study of the project. Taking into account the fact that CHPP-1 already operates on gas and does not affect the deterioration of the environmental situation, it is proposed to start its implementation after completion of the Almaty-2 and Almaty-3 projects.[25]
