Akturbo power station is a 135 MW gas power station in Aktobe, Kazakhstan. It is operated by TNK Kazchrome JSC [100%]. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 152k homes (estimated). It ranks #60 of 80 Kazakhstan power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1996, it is around 30 years old — long-established. In context, gas supplies about 29.4% of Kazakhstan's electricity; the national grid averages 805 gCO₂/kWh (14.9% low-carbon) (2025).

At 135 MW, Akturbo power station is below the median gas plant in Kazakhstan (250 MW). Technically it is described as CCGT; combined-cycle with a heat-recovery steam generator (HRSG). Gas plants burn natural gas either in open-cycle turbines for fast peaking, or in combined-cycle units that recover exhaust heat in an HRSG to reach roughly 55–62% efficiency — the cleanest-burning fossil option.

This gas plant burns natural gas in a turbine — often in a combined-cycle setup — to generate electricity. It sits in a hot-summer humid continental climate (Köppen Dfa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 50.3°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
