Export of electricity from Turkmenistan in 2022 increased by 30%

Turkmenistan over the past year increased the export of electricity to foreign countries by 30% compared to 2021.

The increase in exports was driven by increased production at a large complex of gas-fired power plants in the Mary region in the southeast of the country

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), in August 2021, Turkmenistan began exporting electricity to Kyrgyzstan, while already in the first half of 2022, increasing these supplies to 1.7 TWh.

In October 2022, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan agreed to increase electricity supplies to 4 TWh per year, which could improve the security of electricity supply in Uzbekistan, the IEA said in a report.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) is an organization that works with countries around the world to shape energy policies for a secure and sustainable future.
