The first day of the International Conference “Development of the Construction, Industrial, Chemical, and Energy Sectors of Turkmenistan” (CIET 2025) in the Awaza National Tourist Zone was marked by the signing of a number of bilateral documents.
The Ministry of Energy, the State Concern “Türkmenhimiýa,” and the Ministry of Industry and Construction Production of Turkmenistan signed memorandums with partners from the UAE, Japan, China, and Germany, demonstrating Turkmenistan’s firm commitment to the comprehensive modernization of its industrial complex, digital transformation, enhancement of energy efficiency, and diversification of exports through deep processing products.
Energy Sector
The Ministry of Energy of Turkmenistan concluded the following documents:
- Memorandum of Understanding with “Invatix Solutions FZ-LLC” (UAE): This document paves the way for the digital transformation of the energy sector. Cooperation with the UAE company, which specializes in innovative and digital solutions, envisages the potential implementation of “smart” electricity metering and grid management systems, as well as advanced IT solutions to optimize the operation of power plants and distribution networks.
- Framework Agreement with “Sumitomo Corporation” (Japan): The focus is on uninterrupted power supply. The Japanese giant will supply specialized equipment, which is critically important for preventing ice formation on overhead power lines (OHL) — a major cause of accidents in regions with variable climatic conditions.
