2021: Commissioning of Shoktas and Kushata solar power plants in Kazakhstan

On June 28, 2021, the Hevel Group of Companies announced the commissioning of two Shoktas solar power plants with a capacity of 50 MW and Kushata with a capacity of 10 MW in the Turkestan region of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The investor and general contractor for the construction of generation facilities were the structures of the Hevel Group of Companies.

Solar power plants are equipped with heterostructural two-way solar modules and sun tracking systems. Bilateral modules, using the rear side, provide additional electricity generation at the level of 23-24%, depending on seasonality and weather conditions.

The use of tracker systems for tracking the movement of the sun in automatic mode also provides the most efficient orientation of solar modules, which additionally allows you to increase power generation by an average of 20-25% compared to the static method of arrangement of panels.

The construction of the SES began in June 2020, at the beginning of June 2021 the stations were put into operation and at the end of June 2021 reached their design capacity.

The forecast annual production of Shoktas SES 50 MW will be 102,000 MW * h/year, Kushata SES 10 MW - 20,100 MW * h/year, which will avoid 62 thousand tons of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.

All electricity will be supplied to the Unified Electric Power System of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The total volume of projects of Hevel Group of Companies for the construction of solar generation in Kazakhstan is 288 MW. The launch of SES Shoktas and SES Kushata was the next stage in the implementation of the company's program for the development of solar generation in the Republic.

As of June 2021, work began on the construction of two SES with a capacity of 20 MW each.

2020

Commissioning of two solar power plants in Kazakhstan

In Almaty region of the Republic of Kazakhstan, solar power plants "Kapshagay" with a capacity of 3 MW and "Sarybulak" with a capacity of 4.95 MW were put into operation. The investor and general contractor for the construction of generation facilities were the structures of the Hevel Group of Companies. The company announced this on October 22, 2020.

These solar power plants are equipped with sun tracking systems. Tracker systems monitor the position of the sun and automatically provide the most efficient orientation of solar modules. Thus, power generation increases by an average of 20-25% compared to the static arrangement of the photovoltaic system.

The forecast annual production of both SES will be 14.1 million kWh, which will avoid 7.5 thousand tons of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. All electricity will be supplied to the Unified Electric Power System of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Commissioning of SES "Kapshagay" and SES "Sarybulak" is the next stage in the implementation of the program of Hevel Group of Companies for the construction of solar generation facilities in Kazakhstan. In May 2020, Akmola region opened one of the largest solar power plants in the CIS countries - SES "Nura" with a capacity of 100 MW.

The total volume of the company's projects in Kazakhstan is 248 MW, including SES "Kushata" (10 MW), SES "Shoktas" (50 MW), SES "Zhanakorgan" (10 MW), acquired in 2019-20, SES in Kentau and Shymkent with a total capacity of 70 MW evel, the construction of which received the construction of the year.

Plans to introduce sun tracking systems at SES in Kazakhstan

On September 25, 2020, the Hevel Group of Companies announced that it would equip solar power plants in Kazakhstan with a complex of sun tracking systems. Mechanized tracker platforms will be installed at solar generation facilities with a total capacity of 148 MW. Uniaxial trackers will track the position of the sun and automatically using artificial intelligence technologies to ensure the orientation of solar modules. Thus, electricity generation will increase by an average of 20-25% compared to the static arrangement of the photovoltaic system. The service life of trackers is comparable to the service life of solar modules and is at least 25 years.

During the construction of the SES "Hevel" uses highly efficient heterostructural solar modules of its own production. The supply of tracker systems is carried out by one of the world's leading manufacturers of solar module attachment systems - Arctech.

2019

Loan agreement with EDB to finance the construction of 100 MW of Nura SES in Kazakhstan

The group of companies Hevel"" Eurasian Development Bank and (EDB) on November 6, 2019 announced that they had signed a loan agreement for the opening of a long-term multi-currency credit line in the amount of 65.2 million euros to finance constructions solar the Nura power plant project with an installed capacity of 100 MW in the Akmola region of the Republic. Kazakhstan

The commissioning of the solar power plant is scheduled for 2020. The estimated production of Noura SES is about 150 million kWh of clean green energy per year, all electricity will flow to the energy system of the Republic of Kazakhstan, which will improve the power supply structure of the Akmola region.

As part of the project, along with other equipment, it is planned to use heterostructural solar modules produced by Hevel, which is expected to stimulate the development of high-tech production for renewable energy both in the Russian Federation and in other states of the Eurasian Economic Space.

Hevel to build one of CIS largest solar power plants in Kazakhstan

In June 2019, the Hevel Group of Companies began construction of the Nura solar power plant located in the Akmola region of the Republic of Kazakhstan. SES with a capacity of 100 MW will become one of the largest solar power plants in the CIS.

A subsidiary of the Hevel group of companies in Kazakhstan entered into a number of transactions, as a result of which the portfolio of projects in the republic was increased to 178 MW due to the acquisition of rights for the construction of 100 MW Nura SES, 4.95 MW Sarybulak, as well as 3 MW Kapshagai SES.

The acquisition of assets, as well as the construction of solar power plants, is carried out both at the expense of own funds and at the expense of borrowed funds of the Eurasian Development Bank.

"For the construction of solar power plants, we plan to use both our own heterostructural two-way solar modules with a capacity of more than 375 watts and foreign equipment. Our plans include further expansion of the project portfolio in Kazakhstan, "said Igor Shahrai, General Director of the Hevel Group of Companies.

The commissioning of solar power plants is planned for 2020, the supply of electricity will be carried out in the Unified Electric Power System of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Also in 2019, the construction of a SES in Kentau, Turkestan region, with a capacity of 50 MW, and in the city of republican significance Shymkent with a capacity of 20 MW will begin, the rights to build which Hevel received in 2018 following the results of the auction selection of renewable energy projects.

Credit agreement for 56.2 million euros to finance projects in Kazakhstan

The Eurasian Development Bank (EDB) and Hevel Kazakhstan LLP (a subsidiary of the Hevel group of companies) signed a loan agreement in February 2019 to open a long-term multi-currency credit line in the amount of 56.2 million euros to finance projects for the construction of solar power plants with an installed capacity of up to 90 MW in the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The production of solar power plants of Hevel Kazakhstan LLP is projected at 160 million kWh per year, which will reduce the volume of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere by 85 thousand tons annually. Electricity will be supplied to the energy system of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The commissioning of solar power plants is planned in 2020.

As part of the project, along with other equipment, it is planned to use heterostructural solar modules produced by Hevel, which will stimulate the development of high-tech production for renewable energy both in the Russian Federation and in other states of the Eurasian Economic Space.
