Background

The power station uses natural gas as the main fuel and fuel oil as a backup fuel. The construction of the station started in 1960. In 2004, the power station was renamed Navoi TPP Open Joint Stock Company.

In August 2009, SJSC Uzbekenergo signed a contract with a consortium consisting of the Turkish Çalik Enerji Sanayi ve Ticaret AŞ and the Spanish Initec for the modernization of the Navoi TPP worth $530 million. Under the contract, the consortium completed the construction of a 478 MW combined-cycle plant (CCGT-1). The facility was put into operation in 2012. The CCGT-1 was supplied by Mitsubishi.

In 2014, SJSC Uzbekenergo announced a tender for the construction of a second combined cycle plant with a capacity of 450 MW. As a result, in October 2016, an agreement was signed with a consortium consisting of Mitsubishi Corporation, Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Ltd and Calik Enerji Sanayi ve Ticaret AS. The total cost of the project is $550 million. On March 28, 2017, the President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev laid a capsule in connection with the start of construction of the second combined cycle plant. The head of state noted the high prospects of this project for the uninterrupted supply of electricity to the Navoi Mining and Metallurgical State Enterprise, Navoiazot Joint Stock Company and the agricultural industry.

The third stage of modernization, initially designed for the period 2020-2024, includes construction of the third and fourth combined cycle units. The project implementation is associated with a further increase of the production capacity of the Navoi Mining and Metallurgical Plant in the coming years, the development of new fields in the Kyzyl Kum, as well as the development of consumer infrastructure in the areas of industrial production, social and household and, as a result, the growing demand for energy resources.

Also, the expansion of the Navoi TPP is one of the components of the energy supply project for the Navoi Free Economic Zone.Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) is a partner and investor for the CC3 and CC4 units. According to the JICA Q3 2022 progress report, the CC3 project entered the pre-construction stage in 2022, which involved land acquisition and resettlement. In October 2023, a contract was signed with Mitsubishi Power for the construction of the unit to be launched in 2026. In February 2024, Mitsubishi Powerreceived an order for one system of core equipment for a high-efficiency power generation facility, including a state-of-the-art M701JAC (J-series Air-Cooled) gas turbine. The planned system will comprise a gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC) to generate 600 MW of electric power and 200 Gcal/h of heat.

The government document on construction of the CC3 unit mentions that the project also involves development of the infrastructure for the CC4 unit to be built in the future without specifying any timeline of the project. As of April 2024, there have not been any no updates about the CC4 construction project.
