Background
The plant is owned by TOO Sogrinskaya TETS. It used to be owned by Kazakhstan Utility Systems that acquired Sogrinsk power station and Ust-Kamenogorsk TETS power station power station from AES in April 2017.[2] However, already in 2018 the group sold the plant to Long Life Energy FZE for USD 6.8 million,[3] which in turn was owned by Long Life Energy FZE registered in UAE.[4][3] The company was allegedly associated with Kayrat Satybaldy - a nephew of Nursultan Nazarbaev.[5] It appears that later in 2018 the plant was sold again to Sogra Energy Gmbh - a company registered in Austria.[6][7][8]
The power station provides heat and hot water to residential customers in villages of Novaya Sogra, Raduzhny, and Solnechny Ust-Kamenogorsk. It also provides thermal energy to JSC "Ust-Kamenogorsk Titanium-Magnesium Plant"[9] and the "Greenhouse Complex". The power station also sells electricity for the energy supplying organization Shygysenergotrade LLP.[10] The plant employs 240 people.[10] In 2019 the plant produced 370 million kWh of electricity, in 2022 production reached 417 million kWh.[10]
Construction of the Sogrinsk power station began in 1956. In 1961, the first boiler and 25MW turbine were commissioned. The second boiler and the 25MW turbine were commissioned in 1962.[10] In 2012 the turbine unit No. 1 was replaced with a 50MW unit.[10] Unit 2 has 25 MW capacity with total capacity of 75MW.[11]
In 2011 the EBRD extended a 10-year loan of 3.1 billion Tenge (ca EUR 15 million) to fund the plant’s 5.5 billion Kazakh tenge-worth rehabilitation programme, including the purchase and installation of modern energy efficient equipment, presumably the new 50MW turbine unit.[12][13] It was not clear whether the loan has been repaid when AES sold the plant in 2017.
In 2024 it was reported that as part of the project “Tariff in exchange for investments”, the plant is being transformed from a local one serving only one district with heat into full-fledged link in the thermal energy chain of the regional centre.[14]
