The Hydroelectric Project represents a premier, high-yield renewable energy asset strategically situated in the water-abundant mountainous region of southern Kazakhstan. Currently at the Ready-to-Build (RTB) stage, this 50MW run-of-river facility is engineered to capitalize on optimal hydrological conditions, delivering a projected annual generation capacity of 233.97 GWh of clean, baseload electricity. This project is the HPP-1, a milestone engineering endeavor located on the hydro-energetically rich Bukhtarma River in the Altai District, East Kazakhstan Region.

• Installed Capacity: 50 MW

• Projected Annual Output: 233.97 GWh

• Power Purchase Agreement (PPA): Fixed tarif, KZT 38.99 with RFC KEGOC (GOV) – $0.08 USD (8 US cents)

• Structural Innovation: A 35.87-meter-high gravel-sand dam featuring an elastic composite geomembrane core, uniquely engineered to withstand deep sedimentary foundations and up to magnitude-8 seismic events.

• Turbine Configuration: 4x high-efficiency Axial-flow Kaplan units (12.5 MW each) designed for optimized performance across volatile annual flow regimes.

• Grid Infrastructure: Fully integrated via a 15.5 km double-circuit 110 kV line coupled with a state-of-the-art Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) substation for extreme climate reliability.

• Commercial Viability: De-risked via a secured, long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) featuring a guaranteed tariff of 38.99 KZT/kWh for 20 years.

Operational & Engineering Capabilities

This firm differentiates itself through an integrated project delivery framework that covers every critical milestone of large-scale renewable development:

• Hydrological Excellence: Leveraging over 65 years of continuous historical flow data (1956–2022) to precisely model asset capacity factors and design for 1-in-500-year extreme flood events

• Global Contracting Alliances: Partnering with world-class engineering organizations, including the East Kazakhstan branch of the China International Water & Electric Corporation, ensuring projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to international standard specifications.

• Asset Digitalization: Transitioning toward fully automated, “staff-less” plant capabilities via modern SCADA architectures, redundant PLC gate-control systems, and predictive maintenance technologies.

Financial Soundness & Governance

The Owner maintains an institutional-grade financial footprint, utilizing a disciplined capital deployment model optimized for capital-intensive infrastructure projects.

• Optimal Capital Structuring: Assets are typically capitalized through a highly structured 30% Equity / 70% Debt financing framework, maintaining robust debt service coverage ratios (DSCR).

• Long-Term Predictability: Revenue streams are shielded from market volatility through government-backed, long-term off-take mechanisms, offering investors predictable, infrastructure-grade yield profiles.

• Rigorous Risk Management: From extensive preliminary geotechnical drilling to rigorous ESG alignment, every project undergoes comprehensive risk mitigation prior to financial close.
