CHP is an abbreviation for Combined Heat and Power. It is a technology that produces electricity and thermal energy at high efficiencies. Coal units track this information in the Captive Use section when known.

Background
Originally, two 100-MW gas turbines were planned to be built, but after evaluating costs and feasibility of the project, Batys Power LLP made a decision to construct an initial 100-MW facility. Connected to the KEGOC’s grid, the station enables power sales to Russia and other regions in Kazakhstan. This launch immediately resolved the 30-40 MW power deficit in West Kazakhstan. Expansion plans include three additional 132-MW units; however, current gas supply issues have led the owner to a focus on building one new unit first while the gas situation is resolved.[14]
Construction of the three 100-MW units at the plant was included into the "2035 Electric Power Industry Development Plan" released by the Ministry of Energy of Kazakhstan in February 2024 with the implementation period in 2025-2030.[15]
Currently, the plant is not operating at its full capacity, but mostly providing balancing services to the energy system. Another expansion scenario is construction of an additional 100-MW gas turbine and 100-MW steam turbine to make it a CHP (co-generation) plant to become more competitive.[16]
In July 2025, the regional government of West Kazakhstan, CHN Energy, and Batys Power LLC signed a roadmap for the expansion of the power station. The source notes that an action plan will be developed with the involvement of investors and relevant government bodies.[17] As of September 2025, there have not been any further updates.
