Background

The power plant is owned by Sevkazenergo JSC, which is part of the Central Asian Electric Power Corporation JSC (CAEPCO).[1] The plant is located in Petropavlovsk, North Kazakhstan Region, Kazakhstan.[2][3]

The combined heat and power station supplies heat to residents in the North Kazakhstan region, including the Petropavlovsk city, as well as heat and electricity to industrial and agricultural enterprises in the region.[4]

Starting in 2016, the installed capacity of the Petropavlovsk-2 power station was 541 MW for electricity and 713 Gcal/h for heat.[3] According to 2016 annual report, the power station commissioned turbine unit No. 5 and boiler unit No. 12 that year. The new turbine unit has capacity of 95 MW.[5] Further information on Units 4-7 can be found in a 2016 Sevkazenergo report.

In addition, the power station's chimney was repaired from 2013 to 2017.[6]

The power plant produced 2,342 million kWh of electricity in 2021, 2931 million kWh in 2020.[7] The company reports that as a result of its investments to modernize the generating equipment, the degree of wear and tear has reduced from 86% in 2009 to 55% in 2021.[7] Generation was 1,582 million kWh in 2022.[8]

Incidents

There have been numerous incidents at the power station. For example, in January 2020, a boiler operator died after falling into burning ash while cleaning boiler slag.[9]

In March 2022, one of the three chimneys of the plant collapsed, resulting in one fatality. A crack was discovered in another chimney.[10] There is a plan to build a new chimney.[11] Construction of the new chimney commenced in spring 2023.[12]

Coal Source

The power station's coal has been sourced from the Ekibastuz coal basin.[13]
