Background
Karaganda power station consists of four 110 MW subcritical units. The first two units went online in 1977, the third in 1978, and the fourth in 1990. The Environmental Defense Fund notes that the plant was financed by a multilateral development bank and that the "borrower was TOO Karaganda Power (KPC), a privately owned limited liability Kazakh company."[1]
A fifth unit of 150 MW was added in 2011.[2]
