NewsIncreasing growth rates of Turkmenistan power industry17.01.2011 
In the epoch of new Revival Turkmenistan successfully implements large-scale projects of modernization and construction of gas turbine power plants, laying of power transmission lines, renovation of the power supply system in Ashgabat and other settlements throughout the country.
Further modernization of the power grid that outpaces its growing capacity and is capable to meet the needs of the dynamically developing national economy and demand in countries importing Turkmen electric power is ensured through putting power generation plants into operation.
In 2010 electricity production in Turkmenistan increased by 3% compared with the previous year, volumes of its exports rapidly growing. At present, the installed capacity of all power stations in Turkmenistan is 4,104 megawatts, the history of Turkmen power industry has never known such a breakthrough made by the sector in recent years.
Turkmen power engineers are planning to develop further and modernize distribution networks. Hundreds of millions of US dollars have been allocated for this purpose.
Power supply network in other towns of the country will be modernized. The power sector development strategy stipulates that electric power production in Turkmenistan will have been increased up to 35.5 billion kilowatt-hours by 2030. In the future, the power grid of the country will be completely looped.
With the view of enhancing Turkmenistan’s export potential high-voltage lines to supply power to neighboring Iran and transit to Turkey will be built, possibility for building a power transmission line towards Afghanistan is explored.
The industry adopts the best and most advanced in the world, and the 4th International Exhibition "The Basic Trends of Development of the Electric Power Industry of Turkmenistan 2011", once again will demonstrate this in Ashgabat, on 8-10 September 2011, on the eve of the 20th Anniversary of Independence of Turkmenistan.
The three-day forum will provide guests and participants with a splendid opportunity to learn about latest developments and know-how of world’s leading companies and Turkmen enterprises, technologies and innovations, which are at the forefront of engineering thought.
The main thematic sections of the exhibition devoted to new projects of construction and modernization of power networks and electrical generating facilities, Turkmenistan’s export potential, investment to the Turkmen power industry are enriched by use of renewable energy technologies. Abundant resources and the unique natural conditions in Turkmenistan – plenty of sun and the favorable wind regime – lay the firm groundwork for the use of advanced, environmentally friendly methods of power generation, particularly in remote regions of the country.
The industry is growing as rapidly as the entire national economy, and therefore just as much in need of state-of-the-art equipment, technologies and innovations. The exhibition offers an opportunity for foreign partners to offer innovations and latest technological solutions to the promising Turkmen market.
