/KASE, September 15, 2020/ – Samruk-Energy (Nur-Sultan), whose bonds are officially listed on Kazakhstan Stock Exchange (KASE), has provided KASE with the following statement of September 15, 2020: quote Almaty CHPP-2, the main source of heat and electricity in the southern metropolis, will be fully converted to gas. Samruk-Energy JSC, which is currently working to minimize the impact on the environment, announced this. In fact, an important step is being taken in improving the ecology of Almaty, since there are many facilities in the city whose activities negatively affect the quality of atmospheric air (motor vehicles, public transport and the private sector with harmful emissions, other heat and power generating enterprises using coal). In addition, the city will have to resolve issues related to landscaping, construction taking into account the wind regime, fuel quality, etc.). Many options for the modernization of CHPP-2 were considered. The work was carried following an order from "AlES" JSC by the engineering institute "KazNIPIenergoprom", which has a 60-year history of power construction and carries out the whole range of pre-design and design work in the field of heat and power generation. unquote The full press release is available on: - https://kase.kz/files/emitters/SNRG/snrg_reliz_150920_kz.pdf – in Kazakh; - https://kase.kz/files/emitters/SNRG/snrg_reliz_150920.pdf – in Russian.
