The three CHPs that Russia had promised to build in Semey, Kokshetau and Oskemen will not be built by Russia after all. Today, at a government meeting, the fate of these projects became known, Orda.kz reports.
In the end, Russia will not build any of them. Kazakhstan decided to build the CHP in Kokshetau on its own, while two more in Semey and Oskemen will be built by a Kazakh-Singaporean consortium. On Kazakhstan’s side, the project operator will be Samruk-Energo.
Kokshetau already has the infrastructure and is in the design stage. The capacity of the station will be increased from 520 to 820 gigacalories. The launch is scheduled for the first quarter of 2029. The cost of the station will be about 300 billion tenge. The CHP plants in Semey and Oskemen will cost more — about 400 billion.
In Semey and Oskemen, EPC contracts with the Kazakh-Singaporean consortium were signed in January 2026. In the near future, site preparation and equipment orders will begin. Deliveries will start in 2027, and the commissioning of both stations is scheduled for the end of 2029.
Kazakhstan — well, the company is условно registered in Singapore, but the technologies there will all be modern, Chinese, everything meets environmental requirements and so on. Well, it is a technical issue.Esimkhanov said at a government briefing.
All the new CHP plants are planned to use “clean coal” technologies and elements of artificial intelligence.
