Background

Pavlodar-2 power station is owned by Pavlodarenergo JSC[1][2] which in turn is owned by Central Asian Electric Power Corporation (CAEPCO).[3]

The plant consists of three units launched in 1961-1963, reaching 100MW.[4] It appears that since 2016, the capacity has been increased to 110MW, as this is the capacity reported in the company's annual reports.[5][6] In addition to Unit 3, there are smaller Units 1 and 2 with 50 MW joint capacity.[7] Coal is supplied from Ekibastuz.[7]

The station supplies power and heat to the city's industrial companies and to the residential sector.[8][5]

As of February 2021, the power station reported that it recently implemented various investment projects, including on the turbines, boilers, and coal ash waste dump, to increase the reliability of equipment operation.[9]

In spring 2023, major repairs were planned at Units 1,2 and 3 during 2023.[10]

As of April 2024, the level of depreciation of the plant was estimated at 81%. In 2024 the plan is overhaul the fifth boiler and Unit 3. Two more boilers will undergo ongoing repairs.[11] Ceasing operations of the plant was considered due to high levels of depreciation. Built in 1961, it was the first one in the city of Pavlodar. All equipment needs to be replaced, the company has now a program, starting with the turbine unit 1. Procurement procedures will be carried out in 2024, then it will be manufactured for a year and a half with planned installation in 2026. Then the second and third turbines will start, but the boilers will be used as they are for now. The full program to replace the turbine units will take 6-7 years.[11]
