Last year, the Dashoguz state power plant generated more than one billion kilowatt hours, significantly more than planned. The main part of the electricity went to meet the needs of the velayat, some of it was sent to the unified energy system of the country.

Also last year, a significant event took place in the life of the power engineers of the Dashoguz velayat – the Dashoguz state power plant, also the entire energy infrastructure of the velayat, became an integral part of the closed energy ring of the country. This became possible with the commissioning of the new Balkan–Dashoguz high-voltage transmission line and two electrical substations built on this route as part of a grandiose government project. It is gratifying to note that all the work on laying the Balkan – Dashoguz transmission line with a total length of 572 km was carried out by domestic specialists.

Closed energy ring allowed to increase reliability of all power grid of Turkmenistan at the expense of mutual reservation between power grids regions and Ashgabat, and to carry out necessary repair and modernization of various important communications without detriment to consumers.

In the future, the Dashoguz state power plant, which is a new generation object powered by Turkmen natural gas, will also play an important role in the country's unified energy ring. It is equipped with two gas turbine installations of the world famous American company “General Electric” and is capable of generating more than 1.5 billion kilowatt hours of electricity annually. Its power generation technologies are characterized by cost-effectiveness and environmental friendliness. In the following years, the power plant, like other similar plants of the country, is planned to transfer to the combined cycle.
