Power Plants in Turkmenistan

Turkmenistan has 15 power plants mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 108th-largest fleet of the 155 countries that hold any, and under 0.1% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 13 operating and 2 under construction or proposed. Operating generation capacity totals 7.1 GW across 13 utility-scale plants of 100 MW and above. The largest is Mary power station (3.3 GW).

The largest owner-operators are Turkmenenergo (14) and Turkmennebit (1) — Turkmenenergo alone is named on 93% of them. Half of Turkmenistan's power plants in service predate 2010 (median commissioning year of the 13 with a known date), 2 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Mary power station, dating from 1973. 2 are in the pipeline, led by Balkan power station (1.6 GW), under construction. They account for 39% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Turkmenistan.
