What happened: On April 17, Almassadam Satkaliyev and Nikolay Shulginov, the Ministers of Energy of Kazakhstan and Russia, signed an agreement on the construction of thermal power plants between the energy holding Samruk-Energo (Kazakhstan) and the engineering company Inter RAO – Export (Russia).
The implementation of three new TPPs in three regional centers, Semey, Kokshetau, and Oskemen, given the vast reserves of coal for power stations, will give impetus to their further development.
