📋 Tender Overview
As part of the implementation of the instructions of the Head of State on the diversification of the electric power industry, the Government approved the plan for the development of the hydropower industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan until 2035. Prime Minister Oljas Bektenov signed the relevant resolution. The document forms a single long-term approach to developing the countrys hydropower potential. The availability of water resources, energy system needs, technical capabilities, environmental restrictions and conditions for attracting investments are taken into account during the preparation of future facilities. The plan includes 30 activities in six main directions. Among them are the assessment of the water balance and energy potential of rivers, the formation of a single database on planned facilities, the preparation of land plots, the creation of a pool of HPP and hydroaccumulation stations, as well as personnel and scientific and technical support. The studies help to select suitable sites, determine the parameters of future facilities and take into account the risks related to water supply and environmental impact. All information will be integrated in a digital platform that will be a single source for government agencies and prospective investors. As part of the expansion of production capacity, it is planned to launch at least 500 MW of new hydropower capacity by the end of 2030. Also, attention was paid to the problems of building a hydroaccumulation power station. The commissioning of new facilities will increase the reliability of energy supply to the regions and the stability of the Unified Electric Power System. Water balance and nature protection requirements are taken into account during the selection of sites, which allows to minimize the impact on the environment. As a result, Kazakhstan forms a systematic basis for the development of hydropower potential, from the study of water resources and the selection of sites to the training of specialists and the commissioning of specific facilities. # Presidents assignment #Energy #water resources #Government decrees Be aware of the news of the Prime Minister and the Government of Kazakhstan -- subscribe to the official Telegram channel Subscription
