Uz-Kor Gas Chemical power station is a 96.8 MW gas power plant in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. It is operated by Uz-Kor Gas Chemical LLC [100%]. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 109k homes (estimated). It ranks #25 of 28 Uzbekistan power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2015, it is around 11 years old — relatively modern. In context, gas supplies about 72.3% of Uzbekistan's electricity; the national grid averages 1,000 gCO₂/kWh (19.4% low-carbon) (2025).

At 96.8 MW, Uz-Kor Gas Chemical power station is below the median gas plant in Uzbekistan (450 MW). Technically it is described as CCGT; combined-cycle with a heat-recovery steam generator (HRSG); Siemens Energy: SGT-700, Siemens Energy: SGT-400. 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 hot-summer Mediterranean climate (Köppen Csa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 41.3°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
Climate zone & typical temperatures: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid).
For a plant’s outdoor hardware — heat-recovery steam generators (HRSG), expansion joints, valves, flanges and their insulation — the local climate sets how fast unprotected steel and coatings degrade. This site sits in a mild atmospheric environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C2 — Low), with thermal cycling the leading environmental stress.
Higher environmental severity is exactly where protective removable insulation pays back most: a sheltered micro-climate slows corrosion, UV and thermal-cycling damage and extends outdoor hardware service life. This is an indicative site-climate context — not a condition assessment of any specific plant or operator.
Indicative estimate via the ISO 9223:2012 informative method (atmospheric corrosivity from temperature, time-of-wetness and airborne salinity), using WorldClim climate normals, the Köppen-Geiger class and coast distance. Indicative, not a measured corrosion rate.
The #16 largest gas power plant of 17 in Uzbekistan by capacity.
Uzbekistan has 17 gas power plants in this dataset, together about 13,640 MW of capacity.
