Background

The construction of the power station allowed to resolve problems associated with electricity supply in the province. The Dashoguz power station also supplies electricity to other countries.[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] In February 2024, it was reported that comprehensive work ws being carried out to convert gas turbine units to combined cycle operation.[14]
