🇰🇿Kazakhstan to Power Up with Five New Hydro Plants
The region (East Kazakhstan) is set to expand its hydropower capabilities with plans to build five new hydroelectric power plants (HPPs) with a total capacity of 74.3 MW:
⏺Timeline for Construction 2027 — 1.4 MW plant in Katon-Karagay. 2029 — 50 MW on the Bukhtarma River, Altai district. 2030 — Two plants (4.5 MW and 2.4 MW) in Zaisan, plus a 16 MW in Markakol district.
Hydropower is key for the region, offering a reliable and flexible energy source. With limited solar and wind potential, hydro remains the go-to for sustainable energy:
⏺Current Status East Kazakhstan leads with seven existing HPPs, generating over 7.6 billion kWh in 2024. ⏺Future Potential Up to 95 small HPPs with 2 GW capacity are possible. ⏺Challenges Land allocation in forest areas and environmental concerns are being addressed to balance development with ecological preservation.

The regulator took order for the search and seizure operation from Judge Purushottam B Jadhav, Sebi Special Judge / Additional Sessions Judge. The account, "War on Fakes," was created on February 24, the same day Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a "special military operation" and troops began invading Ukraine. The page is rife with disinformation, according to The Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab, which studies digital extremism and published a report examining the channel. Emerson Brooking, a disinformation expert at the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab, said: "Back in the Wild West period of content moderation, like 2014 or 2015, maybe they could have gotten away with it, but it stands in marked contrast with how other companies run themselves today." Telegram was co-founded by Pavel and Nikolai Durov, the brothers who had previously created VKontakte. VK is Russia’s equivalent of Facebook, a social network used for public and private messaging, audio and video sharing as well as online gaming. In January, SimpleWeb reported that VK was Russia’s fourth most-visited website, after Yandex, YouTube and Google’s Russian-language homepage. In 2016, Forbes’ Michael Solomon described Pavel Durov (pictured, below) as the “Mark Zuckerberg of Russia.” DFR Lab sent the image through Microsoft Azure's Face Verification program and found that it was "highly unlikely" that the person in the second photo was the same as the first woman. The fact-checker Logically AI also found the claim to be false. The woman, Olena Kurilo, was also captured in a video after the airstrike and shown to have the injuries.
