Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- A project to build a third combined cycle plant (CCGT) with a capacity of 650 MW will be implemented at the Navoi thermal power plant in 5 years. The corresponding resolution was adopted by the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan on September 9, 2020.
According to the resolution, the investment project will be implemented for the period 2020-2024. The document notes that the commissioning of the third CCGT unit will be aimed at the further development of generating capacities through the introduction of modern energy efficient technologies, the development of electrical networks in the northwestern part of the unified energy system of the republic in 2020-2026.
As a result of the introduction of the third combined cycle plant at the Navoi TPP, the power supply capabilities of the region's population and its rapidly growing economy will be increased. At the same time, the CCGT unit, based on the latest achievements in the field of energy conservation, will also allow the region to save up to 550-600 million cubic meters of natural gas per year.
