Background
The construction of the power station began in February 2023 on the territory of the Azerbaijan Thermal Power Plant at the premises of steam turbine units 7 and 8.[7][8] AzerEnerji singed a contract with Italian Ansaldo Energia for the delivery and installation of four AE94.3A gas turbines for the amount EUR 160 million.[8] As of March 2024, the construction is 90-95% complete, and the power station is expected to be commissioned by the end of 2024.[9]
As a result of connecting the new power station and units 7 and 8 of the Azerbaijan Thermal Power Plant (TPP), 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.[9]
