The Almaty-2 power station is owned and operated by Almaty Power Plants JSC, which is fully owned by Samruk-Energo, which in turn is owned by the National Welfare Fund of Kazakhstan Samruk-Kazyna. Almaty Power Plants also includes Almaty-1 power station and the Almaty-3 power station.
Almaty-2 power station (ТЭЦ-2 имени А. Жакутова, АО "АлЭС" Алматинская ТЭЦ - 2) is an operating power station of at least 510-megawatts (MW) in Almaty, Alatau, Kazakhstan with multiple units, some of which are not currently operating. The map below shows the exact location of the power station. Loading map... Unit-level coordinates (WGS 84):
In September 2017, then President Nazarbayev instructed the Akim (Mayor) and Samruk-Kazyna SWF JSC to take measures to transfer Almaty-2 power station to gas by 2020 and to complete the gasification of the private sector. Almaty-2 power station and Almaty-3 power station burn about 3 million tons of coal per year.
The 510 MW power station has plans for additional gas-fired units of up to 600MW which will replace the existing coal-fired units by 2026. The 510 MW power station is the largest thermal power plant in the region and provides Almaty with 60% heat supply and 40% electricity.
In July 2022, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) disclosed that they would be providing a loan of up to €252 million ($257.6m) for the modernization of the power station. The project is part of the Green Cities Program of EBRD in Almaty and will be implemented under an EPC contract.
The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting residential storage for backup power and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 4-7 years. Modern home installations now feature integrated systems with 10-30kWh capacity at costs below $700/kWh for complete residential energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving home solar storage and inverter performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 40% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,200/kW to $650/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow home systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing homeowner savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for solar storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $600/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with residential projects typically achieving payback in 5-8 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard home systems (5-10kWh) starting at $8,000 and premium systems (15-20kWh) from $12,000, with financing options available for homeowners.
