Background
In May 2022, it was mentioned in the news that the power station would switch to a combined cycle operation mode.[11] In October 2024, the Ministry of Energy of Turkmenistan announced an international tender for the turnkey construction of steam turbines at the Akhal, Dashoguz, Lebap, and Dervezin state power plants to convert existing gas turbine units to combined-cycle operation.[12]
As of April 2025, there have not been any updates about the project.
