Background
Construction of Ust-Kamenogorsk CHP-2 was announced in October-November 2023[5] although just earlier in the year the authorities confirmed that the plant would not be built.[6]
Ust-Kamenogorsk is heavily polluted due to industrial activity of several metallurgical factories as well as the existing Ust-Kamenogorsk TETS power station. Residents are exposed to heavy smog on many days and are advised to stay indoors.[7]
The new CHP-2 plant with 560 MW of capacity[8] would be built on the left bank of the river Irtysh, in the residential area also known as 'Silk Fabric Factory' (KShT) located in the southern part of Ust-Kamenogorsk.[7] The plant would supply heat also to the right bank of the river via new heat pipelines and would eventually replace the old Ust-Kamenogorsk TETS power station. However all other (multiple) sources referred to lower planned capacity of 360MW.[9][10][11]
Following Vladimir Putin's visit to Kazakhstan in November 2023, a memorandum was signed between Russia and Kazakhstan to agree that Russia's Inter Rao - Export (a subsidiary of Inter RAO) will build three CHP plants in Kazakhstan including Ust-Kamenogorsk CHP- 2 as well as Kokshetau power station and Semey-3 power station.[12][13]
Feasibility study is planned to be conducted in 2024.[13] Estimated project cost is 490 billion tenge (over USD 1 billion).[9] Signing of EPC contract was planned for Q1 2025, as of January 2024.[10]
