Kazakhstan Explores New Nuclear Power Plant on Caspian Sea Coast
Kazakhstan is exploring the possibility of constructing a new nuclear power plant along its western coast on the Caspian Sea. The location for this potential nuclear power station is yet to be decided, with a study underway to assess its feasibility.
The Almaty region is already at the forefront of Kazakhstan's nuclear energy plans. The first nuclear power plant project began in August in the village of Ulken, with the Russian company 'Rosatom' as the general contractor. Two more NPPs are planned for the region.
The second NPP is set to be built in the Zhambyl district, with the specific site under consideration being Balkhash. The type of reactors under consideration include small ones, capable of producing up to 300 megawatts, and medium-sized ones, ranging from 300 to 700-1000 megawatts.
The construction of a new nuclear power plant in western Kazakhstan is being considered, with a study currently assessing its feasibility. The Almaty region is earmarked for two more NPPs, with the second one planned for the Zhambyl district, specifically at Balkhash.
