2. Currently, Turkmen electric power is exported to Afghanistan, Iran, Turkey, Tajikistan and Kazakhstan. In order to increase export capacity of Turkmen power system it is envisaged to construct high-voltage line “Mary -  Mashat” (Iran) and “Balkanabad – Gondbad” (Iran). Construction of these lines will allow implementing of planned power transmission to Iran and in Turkey by transit through Iranian power system. In order to increase export of power to Afghanistan the issue of construction high-voltage line Turkmenistan – Afghanistan is under consideration for increase of export volume of power to Northern provinces of neighboring Afghanistan.

                                   3. Generating capacities.
        For the provision of power production growth it is conducted:

          - Modernization of eight power blocks at Mary hydro plant and two power blocks at Turkmenbashy thermal power station;
          - Shifting of gas turbine power stations into combined cycle + construction of three new power stations with combined  cycle of operation;
 
                                  4. Distribution network.
       In construction of electric grids the Program has envisaged the construction of  220 kW collar around Ashgabat that allows significantly increase reliability of power supply of Ashgabat itself because there is achievement of mutual backup of Ashgabat, Ahal and Abadan power stations.  In perspective it is planned to ring Turkmen power system on aerial/overhead circuits high-voltage line, and upto 2020 it is planned the construction high-voltage line Turkmenbashy – Balkanabad -  Ashgabat, that will allow to implement mutually backup of eastern and western parts of Turkmen power system.
