Background
According to the decree signed by the President of Azerbaijan on October 25th, 2022, units 7 and 8 were to be modernized to reach the total capacity of 1280 MW. As of November 2022, there were no details available.[7][8] In February 2023, the President of Azerbaijan announced construction of a new gas-fired power station in Mingecevir (Mingechevir power station) with the total installed capacity of 1,280 MW.[9][10] The construction of the new power plant began on the territory of the Azerbaijan Thermal Power Plant in February 2023 at the premises at the premises of steam turbine units 7 and 8.[11][12] As of March 2024, the construction is 90-95% complete, and the new power station is expected to be commissioned by the end of 2024.[13]
As a result of connecting the Mingecevir power station and units 7 and 8 of the Azerbaijan Thermal Power Plant, the total capacity of the energy unit will reach 1,880 MW increasing the efficiency coefficient from 18% to 56%. The exhaust gas from the Mingecevir power station will be utilized to convert water into steam, allowing energy to be obtained without additional gas processing in the steam turbines units 7 and 8 of the Azerbaijan TPP, thus, saving 800 million cubic meters of gas per year.[13]
