Environmental Measurements

Environmental protection at enterprise of “PAVLODARENERGO" JSC is one of priority directions of operations, reflected in the Company Development Strategy. The Company is interested in getting clean electricity and heat power, in rational use of natural resources and in prevention and decrease of environmental pollution.     

Since 2008 the Company annually implements the Environmental and Social Actions Plan (ESAP) held within frames of investment program in accordance with the policy of European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) regarding environmental protection in projects funded by EBRD.

The Environmental and Social Actions Plan is a public document presenting projects directed at improvement of environmental parameters of the Company and at labor protection at enterprises of “PAVLODARENERGO” JSC. The Company annually presents a public progress report within frames of ESAP.

All enterprises of the company operate according to norms of maximum permitted emissions, approved by the legislation.

“PAVLODARENERGO” JSC was among the first ones in Kazakhstan to obtain a certificate of compliance with environmental standards of ISO 14000 series.

Soon it is planned to undertake a repeated certification for compliance with ISO 14001 standard (systems of environmental control), and also to get ready to obtaining certificates of ISO 9001 (Quality management system), OHSAS 18001 (Labor safety and hygiene management system) and ISO/1EC17025:2005В(General requirements to competence of testing and metering laboratories) series.

Prevention of environmental pollution is a major factor for making all decisions of operational activities when producing electricity and heat power. When new technologies are implemented level of their impact to environment and efficiency of using energy and water resources  is assessed.

Environmental policy of the Company is developed and implemented in accordance with the Concept of Environmental Safety of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2004-2015, Environmental Code and ISO 14000 standards on the grounds of tasks, set by the Environmental and Social Actions Plan, developed jointly within frames of “Central Asian Electric Power Corporation” JSC Group of companies.    

Environmental protection projects, implemented by “PAVLODARENERGO” JSC
  • For the period of 2009-2011 at all power plants reconstruction of ash precipitating devices (APD) was performed with installing battery emulsifiers of second generation. At CHP-2 APDs are installed on three boiler compounds, at CHP-3 – at four boiler compounds, and at ECHP – at three boilers. The measures implemented allowed increasing the degree of filtration, and, as a consequence, gave and opportunity to cut costs. After assembling battery emulsifiers at all boiler compounds efficiency of filtration will amount to 99.4%. This program is designed for the period until 2013. 
  • With the purpose of ensuring the continuity of technological cycle of power plant and storing ash and slag wastes within the nearest 7 years construction of new ash ponds at CHP-32 and CHP-3 in Pavlodar is going on. Proposed projects of constructing new ash ponds of CHP-2 and CHP-3 will ensure not only storage of ash and slag within seven years, but will allow in perspective undertaking building-up of ash ponds in project.          
  • Upon completion of operations of ash ponds it is stipulated to re-cultivate them. Complex of soils re-cultivation works is divided by two stages: technical and biological re-cultivation. First stage stipulates covering the site being restored with mineral ground coat with a capacity of 20 cm and further – applying the topsoil (PSP) with a capacity of up to 15 cm. The second stage is planting the permanent grasses. Grass layer facilitates integration of pond with surrounding landscape, prevents development of erosion and contributes into formation of humus in the upper layer of soil.
  • Due to modernizing the boiler and turbine equipment at power plants of the Company consumption for generating one gigacalorie will lower by 3 kg of conditional fuel.
