BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 12. Uzbekistan has begun the construction of the two combined-cycle gas installations with a total capacity of 900 MW on the territory adjacent to the Talimarjan thermal power plant (TPP), Trend reports via the Uzbek Ministry of Energy.
Talimarjan TPP, located in the Nishan district of Uzbekistan’s Kashkadarya region, was put into operation in 2004.
