Background
The total installed capacity of the power station is 648.1 MW, including three units with the capacity below the GEM's threshold of 50 MW.[13][14]
In February 2022, the government of Turkmenistan discussed transition of the power station to a combined cycle operation mode. The project will be implemented as part of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the Ministry of Energy of Turkmenistan and the Asian Development Bank.[15] As of September 2023, there have not been any updates about the transition. In October 2023, the project was mentioned again in the media without any further updates.[16]
