The “Start-up of Second Generator Unit of Kambarata HPP-2 – Electromechanical Equipment and Civil Works” includes the construction/finalization of the tunnel/waterway, including the steel penstock with compensators, turbine, generator, main transformer, respective excitation and speed governor systems, as well as related civil works in the powerhouse and at the tailwater area, including riverbank protection and powerhouse finishing works, according to a notice published on the website of the Eurasian Development Bank on 18 November. The scope of contract also includes construction of a 500 kV substation with SF6 insulated circuit breakers, shunt reactors and 500/110 kV autotransformer, extension of the existing 110 kV substation, short transmission lines of 500 kV and 110 kV, control and protection systems and electrical and mechanical balance of plant. The works are to be co-financed by the Eurasian Fund for Stabilization and Development (EFSD).
Construction of the Kambarata-2 near Kara-Jygach in the Toktogul district of Jalal-Abad region in western Kyrgyzstan was launched in 1986 but halted in 1991 with the collapse of the former Soviet Union. Construction work resumed in 2007 with the commissioning of the first of three planned 120 MW units in November 2010. The first unit comprises a 122.5 MW radial-axial turbine, which was manufactured by the Leningrad Metal Plant, and a 120 MW vertical synchronous generator manufactured by Sibelektrotyazhmash. The available capacity of unit 1 is 90 MW due to the limited capacity of the connecting transmission line of 110 kV. The facility’s 60 m-high dam impounds a reservoir with a capacity of 70 x 106m3, of which 8 x 106m3 is available for power generation.
