Key Hydropower Station in Kazakhstan Put into Full Operation

All generator units at the Turguson Hydropower Station in Kazakhstan became fully operational as the No. 3 unit passed a 72-hour trial with all systems and parameters meeting specifications on July 17.

Located on the banks of the Turguson River, the station has a total installed capacity of 24.9 megawatts.

It is the first cascade power station in the region and the first fruit of the China-Kazakhstan cooperation in hydropower under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative.

China International Water & Electric Corp., a subsidiary of China Three Gorges Corporation, was responsible for the construction, which started in 2017.
