Almaty-1 power station (АО "АлЭС" Алматинская ТЭЦ - 1, АлЭС ТЭЦ-1 имени Б. Оразбаева, and Алматинская ТЭЦ-1 (former); АлЭС ТЭЦ-1 имени Б.Оразбаева (current)) is an operating power station of at least 120-megawatts (MW) in Almaty, Zhetysu, Almaty, Kazakhstan with multiple units, some of which are not currently operating. It is also known as Alma-Ata Central Power Plant and Almaty Heat Electro Central (HEC) 1.

Background
The power station is related to Almaty-2 power station and Almaty-3 power station, all of which are run by JSC "Almaty Power Plants" (JSC "AlES").
Almaty-1 currently has a total operating capacity of 145 MW (2x60 MW, 1x25 MW).[13][14] Units 9 and 10 were originally coal-fired[15], however they were switched to gas in 2017.[16][17]
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.[17] The application for the approval of technical design for the project was expected to be submitted by Q3 2022.[18] 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[19].
