1960
Over the years, the Alma-Ata Branch of the Institute has become a major design organization responsible for the formation of technical policy in the field of district heating in Kazakhstan and Central Asian republics, as well as in a number of Russian Federation cities and abroad. The Institute had a staff of more than 1,000 people.
Throughout this period, the Institute's designs were used to build the Alma-Ata CHPP-2, the Karaganda CHPP-3, the Tselinograd CHPP-2, the Pavlodar CHPP-3; the most complicated reconstruction of the Ust-Kamenogorsk CHPP, expansion of the Barnaul CHPP-3, the Omsk CHPP-5 were realized. Main heating networks and pump stations were constructed in Alma-Ata, Karaganda, Dzhambul, Pavlodar, Tselinograd cities and others
That stage of the Institute's activity was characterized by the development and introduction of more advanced and progressive technical solutions into projects to ensure increased productivity and efficiency of CHPPs being constructed. The Institute has initiated works on fundamental restructuring of standard design, as well as research and development works on industrial power engineering and rational use of energy resources.
1992
In 1992, the Central Asian Branch of “VNIPIEnergoprom” was re-organized into an independent state enterprise Institute “KazNIPIenergoprom” under the direct management of the Ministry of Energy and Coal Industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Later the Barnaul, Omsk, Bishkek branches together with their archives were separated from the Institute, and then the Pavlodar branch was separated too.
Using the Institute's designs, there were subsequently constructed steam turbines at the Zhezkazgan CHPP, Balkhash CHPP, Karaganda GRES-2, gas turbines at the Aktobe CHPP, Ural CHPP, steam turbine and boiler at the Astana CHPP-2, boiler and turbine at the Pavlodar CHPP-3, main heat networks in Almaty and Astana and others.
Many thermal power facilities have been constructed from scratch according to the Institute's designs. Over the entire period of the Institute's activity since its foundation, more than 100 power plants have been constructed, expanded and reconstructed under its designs both in Kazakhstan and abroad (Russia, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Turkey, Cuba, Vietnam), including:
- 87 turbine units with a total capacity of 5,896 MW;
- 114 power boiler units with a total steam capacity of 30.06 Tsd.t/h;
- 84 hot-water boilers with a total heat capacity of over 8.34 Tsd. Gcal/h;
- 1,860 km of main and distributive heat networks;
- 129,694.65 Tsd. m3 of ash dumps
The Institute was directly involved in the development of concept for the project of fuel and energy balance of the Republic of Kazakhstan, including the Strategy of Development of Electricity and Heat Energy within the framework of the Presidential Strategy “Kazakhstan – 2030” and the “Program of Development of the Unified Electricity System of the Republic of Kazakhstan for the period up to 2010 with a perspective up to 2015”.
At this time “Institute "KazNIPIEnergoprom” JSC continues its tradition of integrated designing of thermal power plants and district heating systems.
The scope of the Institute is constantly expanding.
The Institute is staffed with high qualified specialists (Thermal Power Engineers, Electrical Engineers, Civil Engineers, Hydraulic Engineers, etc.), who have many years of experience in power engineering and integrated design of thermal power plants and heat networks, using the experience of previous generations of designers ensuring the formation of the Institute.
2015
In recent years, the Institute's staff has been replenished with young specialists who adopt the experience of their senior mentors, continue and increase the best traditions of integrated design of thermal power plants and heat networks.
At the moment the Institute is equipped with advanced multifunctional and constantly updated hardware, graph plotting and multiplying equipment.
The technical level and quality of works meet international standards.
“Institute “KazNIPIEnergoprom” JSC has an information and technical base containing numerous materials of technical archive of projects, working and estimate documentation, scientific and technical library and group of industrial technological equipment.
The Institute is one of the founders of the Kazakhstan Electric Power Association, takes an active part in its work - primarily in the promotion and introduction of new technologies in the energy sector, aimed at improving energy efficiency and energy saving.
