Background
Pavlodar-1 power station has been operating since 1964 and provides the Pavlodar aluminium plant with heat and electricity, as well as the residents of Pavlodar with hot water and heat.[1] Pavlodar aluminium plant belongs to Aluminium of Kazakhstan, which is part of Eurasian Resources Group (ERG).[2]
In the fall of 2020, the power station's pipe network experienced an accident which caused the power station to be temporarily disconnected from the residential grid. This resulted in many residents not receiving hot water and heat during a particularly cold period.[3]
Information on the plant is very limited. As of December 2022, the plant's capacity was revised to 350MW from 520MW as it has been reported to be 350MW since at least 2016 by various sources.[4][5] An article from 2020 stated that the power plant operates 8 boilers and 6 turbine units.[6] Another source confirmed the number of turbine units at 6 with 350MW of capacity.[7] It is possible that some units were retired previously or they were not reflected correctly.
As of July 2023, the plant was conducting several repairs to prepare for the next heating season.[8]
