The Silicon Valley

The project with a volume of investments of about $ 20 billion was presented to the Head of the region in January last year. After the investors had problems with the land, however currently, this issue has already been resolved.

“Initially we were given a plot of 70 hectares, now we were additionally allocated 54 hectares of land,” said Sergazy Berkinbayev, the Director of Ansa Silicon, LLP. – “Another 40 hectares were allocated to the landfill for solid household waste. The temporary and permanent power supply of the plant will be produced by HEPP-1. Today, the project of the external power supply has already been completed and transferred to state expertise.”

At the first stage, 4 furnaces are planned to be put into operation, on the second stage – 10, then – 16 more, after which the enterprise will reach full capacity. As the representatives of Ansa Silicon, LLP noted, the preparatory works on the construction site will start in May. The Akim of Pavlodar Oblast, in his turn, promised to continue to provide investors with all possible support, while urging them to move to the implementation of the project and the development of the land plot granted to them.

The project for the production of process silicon was included in the Business Support Card as early as 2016. The construction of an enterprise with the capacity of 135 thousand tons is included in the list of 51 Kazakhstan-China projects.
