In Astana, in celebration of Knowledge Day, an open meeting was held with students at Akzhan Al-Mashani School-Lyceum No. 92 as part of the 'Clean Kazakhstan' initiative. The event focused on fostering ecological awareness and integrating eco-friendly habits into daily life.

Participants highlighted the importance of youth initiatives and volunteer movements in the beautification and greening of the capital. Students asked questions and shared their views on environmental protection.

"This academic year begins in a remarkable way. At the August conference, the head of state set significant goals for us. Currently, under the 'Conscientious Citizen' program, we are educating children according to the principles of 'Law and Order' and 'Clean Kazakhstan,'" stated School Director Orazkul Zholdasbekova.

She added that students have been winning awards at city competitions on waste sorting and are involved in environmental projects like 'Green City,' where they grow agricultural products.

The meeting also featured Nurdaulet Mukhtarbek, the leader of the youth environmental movement 'Ambassadors of the Earth,' who spoke about the goals of the 'Clean Kazakhstan' initiative. He mentioned that this initiative is aimed not only at organizing clean-up events but also at developing ecological culture and awareness among people.

"I believe that such meetings should occur more frequently because cultivating environmental consciousness in the younger generation is a crucial task," he emphasized.

The main aim of the event was to enhance environmental responsibility among students and encourage active youth participation in community initiatives.

In the Zhambyl Region, six gas turbines with a total capacity of 200 MW will be installed to enhance the resilience of the energy system. The project, undertaken by the Ministry of Energy, aims to develop flexible generation and establish new generating capacities.

As part of this initiative, work has already begun on constructing flexible generating units in the Zhambyl Region. Recently, the first independently designed G50 (F-class) gas turbine with a capacity of 50 MW was dispatched from China to the region.

The project is being implemented following auction tenders held in 2024 on the JSC 'KOREM' trading platform. 'GES Myrzatai' LLP emerged as the winner for the construction of flexible generating units and entered into a contract with the Chinese company Dongfang Turbine for the supply of three G50 gas turbines with a total capacity of 150 MW.

Additionally, another three gas turbines with a total capacity of 60 MW are expected. With the inclusion of supplementary equipment, the overall capacity will reach 200 MW. The turbines are anticipated to be operational by 2027.

This project is aimed at developing flexible generation and strengthening the region's energy supply resilience, reports TUKH24, citing the Ministry of Energy's website.
