Background
On August 11, 2023, two units at the MAEK 2 power station experienced an outage, which subsequently led to power outages for consumers in the Atyrau and Mangistau power distribution zones. Following this, unit 3 also went offline, and there were restrictions imposed on electricity consumption for industrial facilities. The authorities in the Mangistau Region of Kazakhstan also implemented rotational power outages for consumers in several residential areas.[20]
New combined cycle unit (CC1)
There is a proposed project for the construction of a new combined cycle gas-fired unit. The project didn't have any development since 2019, but has been mentioned again when the Prime Minister of Kazakhstan Askar Mamin was on a visit to the Mangistau region. He was informed by the company that the project is expected to be commissioned by 2030.[21]
In November 2022, the Ministry of Economy of Kazakhstan signed an investment agreement for modernization, renovation and expansion of the power station, including construction of the CCGT of 139 MW[22]. The same month, ownership of MAEK was transferred from the federal government to the municipality of the Mangistau region by the resolution of the Government of Kazakhstan, and the name of the company-owner was changed from MAEK-Kazatoprom LLP to MAEK LLP[23]. During the government meeting in December 2022, it was mentioned that the new construction project would be implemented in 2024-2026[24]. In June 2023, CEO of MAEK LLP Zhasulan Suyunchaliyev mentioned in an interview that the construction was in progress.[25]
In December 2023, Governor of the Mangistau Region Nurlan Nogayev said during a briefing that there were ongoing discussions with the Ministry of Energy of Kazakhstan about the construction of the power station.[26] In February 2024, leadership of MAEK met with GE to discuss potential cooperation.[27] The same month, Turkish ENPRODE Engineering&Construction presented its proposal for construction of a combined cycle unit of 180 MW.[28]
The project was included into the "Electric Power Industry Development Plan until 2035", released by the Ministry of Energy of Kazakhstan in February 2024, with the start year in 2027.[29]
Replacement of Unit 7
In September 2023, it was reported that reconstruction of Unit 7 with the replacement for a condensation turbine was in progress. Competitive procedures were underway for the development of project and cost estimation documentation.[30] As of April 2024, there have not been any updates about the project.
