Two 32 MW gas turbine units will be erected at the Tashkent CHPP until 2024, with the Turkish company Çalik Energy will act as the general contractor for the project, the Thermal Power Plants reported.
The agreement signing ceremony between Tashkent CHP and Çalik Energy was held at Thermal Power Plants JSC.
“Çalik Energy is witnessing great transformations in the Uzbekistan energy sector, we have participated here in the construction of modern combined cycle plants at the Navoi and Turakurgan thermal power plants, which have no analogues in the world,” said project manager Zahid Arici. "The next destination is the Tashkent Thermal Power Plant, I think that we will organize the project with great efficiency and contribute to the development of the country's energy system."
