The event attracted the attention of executives from key generating companies in the region, representatives of regulatory bodies, investors, leading equipment manufacturing companies, technology licensors, as well as engineering and construction enterprises.

In session No. 6 "Environmental Safety in Modern Energy," the moderator was the Managing Director of NCE RK "Atameken," Khairushev Zh.G. The invited speakers were Kalmenov M.E., Mominbayev Zh.B., and Kybaryn A.A. As part of the forum, the Chairman of the GreenTech Committee of the "KazEPI" Association, Mominbayev Zh.B., presented a report on "The Method of Effective Management of a 50 MW Solar Power Plant Construction Project." The presentation garnered significant attention from forum participants, providing valuable insights and recommendations on project management in the solar energy sector, aiming to maximize Kazakhstani content up to 80%.

The main goal of the forum and exhibition was to discuss the development of thermal power through the implementation of major investment projects for the construction and modernization of thermal power plants. Participants exchanged experiences and discussed opportunities to improve the efficiency of existing productions.

The International Forum and Exhibition "Thermal Power Central Asia" contributed to strengthening cooperation between the countries of the region, providing a platform for discussing current issues and strategies in the field of thermal power. The event emphasized the importance of international cooperation and innovative approaches in addressing contemporary energy challenges.


Visiting the SNEC exhibition

The world’s largest solar energy exhibition, SNEC, opened in Shanghai on June 13. The event is attended by leading companies and industry experts, presenting the latest achievements and innovations in the field of solar technology. Partner of LLP «TechnoGroupService» Mominbayev Zhomart visited this exhibition with the purpose of finding equipment suppliers and to expand the list of potential partners on renewable energy projects.

The main themes of the exhibition were new developments in the field of photovoltaic technologies, the integration of solar panels into urban infrastructure, as well as prospects for the development of the solar market on a global scale.

Prominent exhibitors include major international companies such as Longi, PowerChina, Trina Solar and Huawei, each of which has introduced innovative solutions and advanced technologies.

The exhibition lasted until June 15 and according to data, it attracted more than 500 thousand professionals and participants interested in the future of solar energy.

Thus, the SNEC exhibition plays a key role in promoting solar energy, bringing together leading industry players to exchange knowledge and experience, and fostering the development of environmentally friendly technologies.


LONGi and TGS have concluded a Memorandum of Understanding and Cooperation

On June 13, 2024, LONGi and TGS signed a Memorandum of Understanding and Cooperation, aimed at strengthening partnership and joint implementation of renewable energy projects in the Republic of Kazakhstan within the framework of the SNEC exhibition in Shanghai.

The memorandum provides for the implementation of projects in the field of renewable energy sources, including engineering support for the production and testing of solar modules at the plant «PIT «Alatau», technologies of «green» hydrogen technologies, and more. TGS agreed to use LONGi’s silicon plates and indicate «Powered by LONGi» on photovoltaic modules to demonstrate their quality.

The signing of the Memorandum marks an important stage in the development of domestic power engineering in the renewable energy sector, It Targeted the production of photovoltaic modules of the TopCon type in volumes up to 150 MW per year with the prospect of further export of manufactured products to the Central Asian countries.
