At 82.8 MW, Altaaqa Global Aktobe power station is below the median gas plant in Kazakhstan (250 MW). Technically it is described as Engine. 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.
