The State Electricity Corporation «Turkmenenergo» will conclude with the company «Çalik Enerji Sanaýi we Tijaret A.Ş.» (Turkey) contract for the design and construction of a solar and wind power plant with a capacity of 10 MW. The corresponding Resolution was signed by President Serdar Berdimuhamedov.
According to the Resolution, the contract provides for the design and construction of a 10 MW diversified solar and wind power plant in the Serdar etrap of the Balkan region with the improvement of the adjacent territory and with the condition of the construction of supply engineering systems and water supply facilities, as well as the purchase of equipment and materials for laying a line from the Serdar power plant transmission lines to the new power plant.
The document prescribes to begin construction work in July 2022 and to hand over the facility in full readiness for operation in January 2024.
By signing the Resolution during a government meeting last Friday, Serdar Berdimuhamedov emphasized the need to widely use the opportunities of «green» energy and actively use renewable sources.
The decision on this was made “in order to ensure reliable and uninterrupted power supply to domestic consumers, to establish the use of renewable energy sources in the country,” the Resolution says.
The first solar-wind power plant in Turkmenistan will generate clean energy, providing reliable and uninterrupted power supply to consumers in the settlements that will appear around the Turkmen Lake in the Central Karakum Desert.
The construction of cost-effective alternative energy facilities that do not harm the environment will directly contribute to the development and provision of environmental well-being in the Altyn Asyr Lake region.
