Turkmenistan — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 38 energy assets in Turkmenistan across 8 layers — the 97th-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 15 power plants, 8 pipelines and 5 cement plants. Operating generation capacity is 7.1 GW, led by gas at 100%. Refining capacity is about 130 kb/d.

The companies named on the most assets are Turkmenenergo (14), Turkmennebit (7) and Ministry of Industry and Construction Production (Turkmenistan) (5), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Turkmenistan's mapped assets in service predate 2006 (median commissioning year of the 27 with a known date), 2 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Vyshka-Belek Oil Pipeline, dating from 1947. 3 projects are under construction or proposed, led by Balkan power station (1.6 GW).
