Turkmenistan has more than 5.4 gigawatts of installed power generation capacity, nearly all of which comes from natural gas-fired power plants. The country clearly has sufficient gas resources to be a major exporter of gas and electricity.
The project will cover four of the five regions of Turkmenistan, and will help establish an interconnected national transmission grid to improve reliability and energy efficiency of the network. Hydrocarbon-rich Turkmenistan has been an exporter of baseload power to its neighbors, notably Afghanistan.
Under the TUTAP power interconnection framework, Turkmenistan signed a power purchase and sales agreement with Afghanistan extending to 2028, for an estimated export volume of about 1.5 TWh per year valued at about $75 million per year, assuming an average price of $0.05 per kilowatt hours (kWh).
Turkmenenergo, the State Energy Corporation is the vertically integrated power utility in the country. In 2017, it produced more than 23 TWh of electricity, exporting 15% of that to neighboring countries. Demand for electricity has grown modestly during 20122017, at an annual average of 1.5%2.0%.
The country is an exporter of gas, primarily to the People''s Republic of China, totaling about 45 bcm per year, half of what it used to export in the early 1990s, to its neighbor countries. Turkmenistan has more than 5.4 gigawatts of installed power generation capacity, nearly all of which comes from natural gas-fired power plants.
The reinforced transmission network is an essential prerequisite for improving power supply reliability for domestic consumers and current and expanded future electricity exports. Turkmenistan is a sparsely populated country with a total population of about 5.7 million, the lowest among Central Asian countries.
