On November 22, a solemn ceremony of laying the foundation of a gas-turbine power plant with a capacity of 432 megawatts took place in Chardzhevsky etrap of the Lebap province.
The investment project will be implemented jointly with Sumitomo Corporation and Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (Japan), as well as Rönesans Holding (Turkey). The relevant contract with the State Electric Power Corporation "Turkmenenergo" was signed in 2015 during the official visit of the Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe to the country.
The Japanese Bank for International Cooperation, which has entered into a loan agreement with the State Bank for Foreign Economic Affairs of Turkmenistan, participates in financing the project.
In the main production building of the power plant, it is planned to install three gas turbine units with a capacity of 144 megawatts each, which will be supplied by Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems. In addition to the power units, an administrative building will be constructed, where the main control panel of hydropower plant will be located, and gas distribution station, as well as engineering and technical communications. The territory of the power plant will be landscaped.
