Project for the Construction of a Mineral Fertilizer Production Complex Based on the Turkmenabat Chemical Plant, Lebap Velayat, Turkmenistan
General Project Information:
The project involves the construction of a modern production complex in Turkmenabat with an annual production capacity of 350,000 tonnes of superphosphate and 100,000 tonnes of ammonium sulfate. The project will contribute to meeting Turkmenistan’s agricultural demand for mineral fertilizers, reducing dependence on imports, creating new employment opportunities, and increasing the country’s export potential.
As part of the project, new power infrastructure is being developed to ensure a reliable electricity supply to the production complex, including a high-voltage substation, transmission lines, and the necessary connections to the existing power system.
The project is aimed at supporting the development of Turkmenistan’s chemical industry, increasing domestic production of mineral fertilizers, and strengthening the industrial infrastructure of the Lebap Region.
