Sevara Rakhimzhanova saw the work of a hydroelectric power station for the first time.

– They explained to us how aggregators work, how energy appears, where water flows from. There are many workshops at the station, but we only went into the safest one. There was a crane that lifted loads for the aggregator. The hydroelectric power station has a brain, there is even a button to turn off the entire station. You ask: “Why is she? After all, the station cannot be turned off even for a second, it works 24/7.” This button is needed in case of an accident. It has never been used in all these years! We also got acquainted with the honor board, where we were told about the first builders and veterans of the station.
