“Ekibastuz SDPP-2 Plant” JSC is implementing an integrated planning system (IPS) of “Samruk-Energy” JSC Digital Transformation Program. Ruslan Kusainov, the manager of the project on the introduction of IPS   introduced the project team, stated goals and tasks at the kick-off meeting.  According to experts’ estimates, the expected benefit from the project at Ekibastuz SDPP-2 will be circa 1 bln. tenge.

“The project “An integrated Planning System” dates back to 2017, when the first wave of implementation was launched. This tool allows us to get closer to the status of an operating holding company,” said Serik Tutebayev, Project Sponsor, and Managing Director for Production and Asset Management of “Samruk-Energy” JSC.

IPS allows setting goals for the medium term and searching for a most preferable scenario for the development of the Company by balancing production, technological, economic and financial indicators. As of today, the system has been successfully implemented at two Samruk-Energy subsidiaries – “Ekibastuz State District Power Plant-1” LLP and “Moynak HPP” JSC. This project changed the approach to planning production costs at power plants, which lead to their reduction by 2%, and the net benefits from sales amounted to about 8 bln. tenge.
