History
Land for the construction of the Karaganda State District Power Station-2 was allocated in September 1949 by a decision of the Oblast Executive Committee of the Karaganda Region. The design assignment for the new power plant was approved by order of the USSR Minister of Energy on January 19, 1953. The first stone in the foundation of the Karaganda State District Power Station-2 was laid on March 16, 1954, at which the construction of the Topar settlement was also begun [4] . The first phase of the power plant was put into operation on June 12, 1962 by launching the first turbogenerator. The last generator was put into operation in September 1968 [5] . GRES-2 was the first power plant in Kazakhstan to install 100 MW turbines [6] . Design capacity - 700 MW [6] .
