MW ultra-supercritical units; and steam/gas turbine, turbine generator and auxiliaryequipment. As of May 2011, SECPG has installed 61 units of 1,000 MW, 146 units of600 MW and 322 units of 300 MW. Mr. Zhang highlighted the technology partnershipsthat SECPG has established with renowned international firms and provided details ofthe plants that it set up in different countries, including India. He also explained theexperience of SECPG in designing and setting up 1,000 MW coal-fired ultra-supercriticalunits.4. KazakhstanMs. Khairullina Zhanna made a presentation on the coal industry of the Republic ofKazakhstan and the use of coal for electric power. Kazakhstan has coal reserves of33.6 million tonnes, which will suffice for more than 300 years at the current level ofmining. In addition, it also has 39.8 billion barrels of oil reserves, 3 trillion cubic metresof gas (natural and tail) and 1.6 million tonnes of uranium. About 65 per cent of its coaldeposits are in the central region, followed by 21 per cent in North Kazakhstan. Coalmining has gradually increased with the rising domestic consumption (Figure 1-7). In2006, 96.3 million tonnes of coal were mined, out of which 27.8 million tonnes wereexported.Figure 1-7: Mining and distribution of coalMillion tonnes140120100806040200130.452.0Mined Domestic use Export76.855.721.179.150.628.596.368.51991 1996 2001 2006Year27.8Kazakhstan has developed a programme for the period up to 2020 for ensuring sustainableand balanced growth of the economy through the effective development of theelectric power industry. The immediate tasks include: modernization and reconstructionof existing generation capacity, construction of new generation capacity, and modernizationof transmission and electric network systems; development of fuel-basedelectricity generation; improvement and development of market for electricity; involvementof renewable energy balance; and other regulatory and human resources measures.The programme also looks at the power needs up to 2030. The target indicators specifiedare: electricity production at 150.2 million kWh; coal production at 155 million tonnes;and renewable energy systems at 15 billion kWh per year.The programme projects coal supplies to power plants to touch 75 million tonnes by2030. This projection also shows that from 2012 to 2030, nearly 50 per cent of the coalproduced will be utilized for power generation. Export of high-grade coal is expected togrow to 50 million tonnes from the 34 million tonnes in 2011 (Figure 1-8).20
