On October 4, 2023, the station reversal began at the Almaty CHPP-1 named after B. Orazbayev. Let us remind you that CHPP-1 is scheduled to be shut down after the heating season for the summer period.

During the plant shutdown, scheduled repairs of the main equipment (six power boilers and three turbine units) with all auxiliary equipment, and its technical diagnostics were carried out.

At the time of launch, the station personnel are fully prepared to begin launch operations. The station equipment was tested in advance.

According to the approved program for launching the station, on October 4, 2023, start-up work began on the turnaround of CHPP-1 with the inclusion of one boiler unit and two turbine units.

– Thanks to the coordinated and qualified actions of all the personnel of CHPP-1 named after B. Orazbayev, organizational measures to turn around the station were completed on time. All main and auxiliary equipment is ready for operation during the autumn-winter period of 2023-2024,” emphasized Alibek Tastanbekov, director of the station.

It should be noted that Almaty CHPP-1, one of the oldest stations in Kazakhstan, is located on the territory of the Zhetysu district of Almaty, almost in the central part of the city, and is the source of centralized heat supply to Almaty. The main consumers of the station are the housing and communal services sector and industrial enterprises of Almaty.

This year Almaty CHPP-1 celebrated its 88th anniversary. The design and construction of the first stage of the Alma-Ata Central Power Plant (now CHPP-1) began in 1931, and on October 25, 1935, the first unit was already put under load. In 1936, 1.8 million kWh of electricity was generated. Today, this electricity production is equal to the daily operation of the station. CHPP-1 first generated thermal energy in 1961.
