The contractors of the “Turkmenenergogurlushyk” concern have begun the second stage in the construction of a ring power transmission line connecting Balkan and Dashoguz velayats, the “Turkmenistan: Golden Age” newspaper reports.
From the substation “Balkan” to Dashoguz, the length of the power line is more than 560 kilometers. 1446 supports of the future power line will be erected along this route. At the same time, the project provides for the installation of power transformers, switches, disconnectors, relay protection and automation, telemechanics, communications and SCADA systems.
Recall that work on the creation of the Ahal-Balkan-Dashoguz ring energy system was launched in July 2020. In October 2021, the first stage of the power transmission line between Ahal and Balkan velayats was put into operation, the length of which is 421 km.
The customer State Electric Power Corporation “Turkmenenergo” signed contracts and purchased the equipment, materials and vehicles necessary for the construction of high-voltage power lines and stations with the funds of a soft loan allocated by the Asian Development Bank.
It is planned to complete the construction of the ring energy system of Turkmenistan along the Ahal-Balkan-Dashoguz route in 2023. The transmission line enables mutual redundancy between the energy systems of the velayats and Ashgabat.
