ASHGABAT, Turkmenistan, May 16. The Kiyanly
1,574 MW Combined Cycle Power Plant project in Turkmenistan has
reached a key construction milestone with the successful completion
of the first fire process at Gas Turbine Units 1 and 2, Trend reports via Türkiye’s
Çalık Enerji.
According to the Turkish company involved in the implementation
of the project, the completion of this phase represents an
important stage in the overall construction process of the power
plant.
The project team also announced the achievement of 12 million
accident-free human-hours during construction activities.
The Kiyanly Combined Cycle Power Plant is among Turkmenistan’s
largest ongoing energy infrastructure projects and is being
developed near the Caspian coast in the Balkan region. The facility
is expected to enhance electricity supply for industrial
enterprises and residential consumers, while contributing to the
country’s export-oriented energy policy.
The project is being implemented by Çalık Enerji under a
contract concluded with Turkmenistan’s Ministry of Energy. The
plant is based on combined-cycle technology, enabling greater fuel
efficiency and reduced emissions compared to conventional thermal
power generation facilities.
Kiyanly is considered as strategically significant due to its
proximity to the region’s major gas chemical complex and
Turkmenistan’s broader plans to expand electricity exports to
neighboring countries and regional markets.
