Steam-gas technology provides a high efficiency. Gas turbines generate electricity and waste heat is used to produce steam. The combined scheme improves fuel efficiency.

Vice Minister power engineering specialists Kazakhstan Sungat Yesimkhanov inspected the gas turbine building during his visit to the city. Pre-commissioning tests are carried out in this room. Also, a representative of the ministry visited a 220-kilovolt open switchgear and the main control panel.
