On June 5, President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov made a working trip to the Dashoguz Velayat, where he took part in the celebrations on the occasion of the commissioning of the new Balkan-Dashoguz high-voltage power transmission line and two 500 kV electric substations each built on this route as part of the project to create a unified energy ring of the country.

The closed power ring should ensure the reliability of the domestic power grid due to mutual redundancy between the Velayat and Ashgabat power systems, so that power engineers can repair and modernize power units, electric substations, and transmission lines without prejudice to consumers.

It is noteworthy that all the work on laying the Balkan-Dashoguz transmission line with a total length of 572 km was carried out by domestic energy builders who have accumulated extensive work experience over the years of state independence.

The commissioning of new important facilities in the electric power industry - the Balkan-Dashoguz transmission line 500 and two power substations - marked the successful completion of a grandiose project to create a single energy ring, which has become another man-made symbol of the economic power and viability of independent neutral Turkmenistan.
