Turkish company Aksa Enerji is implementing a project for the construction of a combined cycle power plant with a capacity of 240 MW and a gas piston power plant with a capacity of 230 MW in the Tashkent region on the basis of a public-private sector.

Construction, installation and commissioning works are underway at the facility. On December 22, the first voltage was applied to the open switchgear of the power plant. The auxiliary equipment of the plant, in turn, is currently being commissioned.

In the next 7-8 days, the power plant will be connected to the only power grid of Uzbekistan and will start supplying electricity.

The commissioning of the power plant will produce 3.9 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity per year. The project itself will save 550 million cubic meters of natural gas annually.

It should be recalled that this investment project is being implemented on the basis of public-private partnership in accordance with the decrees of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
