A historic event in the field of energy development of the region took place in Kostanay region — the first solar power plant with a capacity of 22.6 MW, built by JSC Varvarinskoye, was commissioned in the area of B. Mailina. The project was implemented in accordance with the instructions of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan to increase the volume of renewable energy and increase the share of "green" generation in the national energy system.The ceremonial launch of the facility was given by Akim of the region Kumar Aksakalov, emphasizing the importance of a new stage in the modernization of regional energy:"The launch of these power plants will significantly reduce the shortage of energy resources, create favorable conditions for attracting new investments and implementing major projects. Green energy is becoming a symbol of renewal, innovation and responsibility for the future of our region," said the head of the region.The region's first solar power plant: contribution to the economy and ecologyThe new solar power plant was built using modern technologies and highly efficient panels. This is the first facility of this scale in Kostanay region. The plant's capacity is 22.6 MW, which will provide electricity to thousands of households and enterprises in the region.The project has become a significant investment: 7.2 billion tenge has been invested in it, and 16 new jobs have been created on a permanent basis. Using solar energy will significantly reduce energy costs and reduce dependence on external sources. The production of clean energy will reduce the load on the traditional energy system and reduce carbon dioxide emissions, making the project an important contribution to environmental protection.Vitaly Nesis, Chief Executive Officer of Solidcore Resources, noted that the construction of the plant has become part of the company's decarbonization strategy.:"We strive to minimize the environmental impact of our production and at the same time increase its energy efficiency. The new solar power plant gives us this opportunity. It has become our contribution to the development of Kostanay region and an example of how responsible production can be innovative."More than 36,000 solar panels with a total area of over 98,000 m2 have been installed as part of the project. The annual output of the plant will be about 28.5 million kWh.Energy transition: the region accelerates the pace of developmentKazakhstan is consistently modernizing the energy system, and Kostanay region plays a key role in this process. Today, the region consumes 0.45 GW of electricity, while it produces only 0.12 GW. At the same time, 37% of its own generation is provided by two operating wind farms in Arkalyk and Kostanay region.The akim of the region emphasized:"Our goal is not just to increase the volume of electricity production, but also to create a sustainable, environmentally friendly energy system that will ensure the development of the region for many years to come."Six major renewable energy projects: the region is fully supplied with energyThis year, Kostanay region is implementing 6 major projects on the introduction of alternative energy in the amount of 560 billion tenge. Among them are four wind farms, solar and gas—piston power plants.Their commissioning will increase the volume of own electricity generation by 10 times — from 0.12 to 1.2 GW, which will completely cover the needs of the region.Of these six projects, two are being implemented by JSC Varvarinskoye:solar power Plant (SES),gas-piston power plant (GPP).Gas-piston power plant: a new stage of energy sustainabilityIn October of this year, construction of a 40 MW gas-piston power plant worth 14.3 billion tenge was started. After commissioning, the station will become an important element of maneuverable generation, ensuring the stability of the power system during peak loads.Both projects are implemented at the expense of the company's own funds.The electricity generated by the gas station will compensate for the instability of solar generation, providing the region's needs at night, in the morning and in the evening. The GPP will also provide regulating power to the KEGOC JSC system operator during peak hours, which will help smooth out possible imbalances in the energy system.This is one of the first projects in Kazakhstan to combine green energy and balancing maneuverable generation.Innovation and development: the region is moving forwardThe launch of new renewable energy facilities not only reduces the shortage of electricity, but also creates conditions for attracting investment, developing industry and strengthening the energy independence of the region.The first solar power plant in Kostanay region has become a symbol of innovation, technological progress and responsibility for the region's future.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanay/press/news/details/1123865?lang=kk
