Aksa Enerji’s Talimercan Natural Gas Combined Cycle Power Plant, with an installed capacity of 430 MW and commissioned in a record time of just 7 months, was officially inaugurated in a grand ceremony attended by H.E. Shavkat Mirziyoyev, President of Uzbekistan. Türkiye’s Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Alparslan Bayraktar, joined the ceremony via video link, and Deputy Minister Berat Çonkar was present on site.
As the largest Turkish investor in Uzbekistan, Aksa Enerji has implemented yet another significant investment for the country’s energy supply security through the Talimercan Natural Gas Combined Cycle Power Plant. With three existing power plants in Tashkent and Bukhara totaling 790 MW, the completion of the Talimercan plant will increase Aksa Enerji’s total installed capacity in Uzbekistan to 1,220 MW. The plant, which has already reached 352 MW capacity through the units commissioned within 7 months, is expected to be fully operational by early 2025.
Commenting on the record-time commissioning, Mr. Cemil Kazancı, Chairman and CEO of
Aksa Enerji, said:
“Today, we are proud to inaugurate our Talimercan power plant, one of the most concrete examples of the strong political and economic ties between Uzbekistan and Türkiye. This project, which we commissioned in a record time of just 7 months, contributes significantly to Uzbekistan’s energy supply security while also serving as a key milestone in Aksa Enerji’s international growth strategy. Once operating at full capacity, we will have four plants and a total of 1,220 MW capacity in Uzbekistan, solidifying our position as the largest Turkish investor in the region.”
The Talimercan Power Plant was built in cooperation with NEGU (National Electric Grid of Uzbekistan), under the Ministry of Energy of Uzbekistan. The natural gas required for electricity generation is supplied by the Government of Uzbekistan, while the electricity produced will be priced under a 25-year USD-based guaranteed capacity agreement. This model stands out as a strong indicator of the project’s sustainability and the robust economic collaboration between the two countries.
