What the project includes
The planned capacity of the new station will be 1,200 megawatts.
- The first stage involves the construction of two power units with a capacity of 300 megawatts each, which is expected to be completed within 36.5 months.
- As part of the second stage, one unit with a capacity of 600 megawatts will be built, and the entire project will be completed in 54.5 months.
After all units are completed, it is expected that the annual output will be 7.8 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity.
The construction of the thermal power plant is planned on an area of 118 hectares, located 8 kilometers from the village of Yykan in the Jumgal district of the Naryn region, 35 kilometers from the Kara-Keche coal deposit.
The costs for the implementation of the first stage are estimated at $934.38 million, and the second stage at $370.6 million.
