With the Silleno Polyethylene plant in Atyrau officially surpassing the 25% construction milestone — and the first 1,500-ton columns arriving on-site — Central Asia’s transformation into a global polymer hub has entered its most critical phase.
For the first time, the Downstream Central Asia and Caspian Summit will be co-located with the inaugural Go Net Zero Energy Summit on 8 September at the same venue, bringing together downstream stakeholders from across the Caspian and Central Asia regions under one roof. This unique convergence creates a full week of strategic dialogue and delivers unparalleled opportunities for cross-sector collaboration, knowledge sharing, and the formation of strategic partnerships across the entire energy value chain.

Kořensko hydroelectric power plant is currently undergoing the largest modernization in its 34-year history. Operated by ČEZ as part of the Vltava cascade, the multi-million-crown overhaul will replace core machinery across both of its turbine units, resulting in safer, greener, and significantly more efficient operations by next spring.
Enefit, the electricity subsidiary of Estonia's Eesti Energia, has officially opened the Strzałkowo solar park in central Poland. The newly launched facility marks a major milestone for the company, standing as its largest single renewable energy project in the Polish market to date.
The Strzałkowo facility boasts an impressive installed capacity of 45 megawatts (MW). Operational estimates suggest the site will generate approximately 45 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of clean electricity annually.
ORLEN Group has just secured a landmark deal to acquire a 216 MW hybrid renewable energy complex in Kazimierz Biskupi, marking a significant milestone in Poland’s green energy transition.
