New Cogeneration Plant Boosts Energy Supply and Cuts Emissions in Almazar

A modern cogeneration plant has been commissioned in the Shon-Shukhrat neighborhood of the Almazar district. This investment project, developed in cooperation between JSC Thermal Power Plants and the Turkish company Iltekno, was implemented using energy-saving technologies. The power output of the plant is 1.2 MW for electricity and 6.4 Gcal for thermal energy. The efficiency of this modern energy facility exceeds 80 percent. Once operational, it will generate 8 million kWh of electricity and 52,000 Gcal of heat per year.

The facility is equipped with an MWM gas piston unit and two Bosch boilers imported from Germany. Since heat is distributed to residential buildings via a closed-loop system, heat loss will be completely eliminated. As a result, 18 apartment buildings, one school, one social institution, and more than a thousand local households will be reliably supplied with thermal energy.

According to the project, the use of cutting-edge, high-efficiency technologies will result in annual savings of 0.7 million cubic meters of natural gas and a 67 percent reduction in emissions of atmospheric pollutants.
