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.[16]
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.[17] In February 2024, it was reported that comprehensive work was being carried out to convert gas turbine units to combined cycle operation.[16] In September 2024, the project (120 MW) was presented at the Turkmenistan Investment Forum for potential investors. The conversion to a combined cycle operation mode is expected to be completed in 2028.[18][19] 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.[20]
In January 2025, the conversion to the combined cycle mode in the future was mentioned again in the media without any further updates.[21]
