The dam was constructed between 1964 and 1968 at the time of the Kazakh SSR. Its primary purpose was irrigation. The dam has been undergoing structural rehabilitation and a power station upgrade is currently in planning. The power station's four 25 MW Kaplan turbine-generators are scheduled to be upgraded to 31.5 MW each.[3]
