Seydi CHP power station is a 160 MW gas power station in Lebap, Turkmenistan. It is operated by Turkmenenergo [100%]. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 180k homes (estimated). It ranks #14 of 15 Turkmenistan power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1992, it is around 34 years old — long-established. In context, gas supplies about 100.0% of Turkmenistan's electricity; the national grid averages 1,306 gCO₂/kWh (0.0% low-carbon) (2024).

At 160 MW, Seydi CHP power station is below the median gas plant in Turkmenistan (254 MW). Technically it is described as Steam. Gas plants burn natural gas either in open-cycle turbines for fast peaking, or in combined-cycle units that recover exhaust heat in an HRSG to reach roughly 55–62% efficiency — the cleanest-burning fossil option.

This gas plant burns natural gas in a turbine — often in a combined-cycle setup — to generate electricity. It sits in a cold desert climate (Köppen BWk) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 39.4°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
