Bayat Power-1: Power For The People of Afghanistan:
Bayat Power-1 is the first phase Bayat Power’s Three-Phase 200 Megawatt Gas to Electricity Power Production Facility. Located in Sherberghan—the epicenter of Afghanistan’s vast hydrocarbon deposits—Bayat Power-1 will begin operations the summer of 2019.
Bayat Power-1 is the first new Gas Fired power plant in Afghanistan in more than forty (40) years. Bayat Power-1 represents the first in a series of Gas to Electricity Power Plants owned and operated by Bayat Power that will provide Afghanistan with affordable, reliable and environmentally sustainable electric power.
A Calibrated and Careful Approach to Electric Power Production:
Bayat Power has implemented a three-phase protocol to ensure that Bayat Power-1 attains the highest standards for operational capacity, safety and electric power production, while also ensuing that power generation can begin as quickly as possible.
Phase One of Bayat Power-1 will begin commercial operation in the summer of 2019. This phase of the plant’s operations will enable Bayat Power-1 to generate up to 40 megawatts of electricity, enough electricity to supply 200,000 Afghans and businesses. When all three phases of Bayat Power-1 are operational, the plant will generate more than 200 megawatts of electricity—enough to serve millions of Afghan residential and commercial clients.
Bayat Power and The Siemens SGT A-45: World Class Technology For Fast Power Production:
Bayat Power-1 utilizes the Siemens SGT A-45 Fast Power Turbine. The Siemens SGT A-45 is the world’s most advanced Gas Fired ‘Fast Power’ solution, and Bayat Power is the first power company in the world to use the SGT A-45 Turbine in commercial operations. In order to get power flowing as quickly as possible for Afghans, we airlifted the equipment into northern Afghanistan.
Bayat Power and Da Afghanistan Breshna Shekrat (DABS): Partners in Powering All of Afghanistan:
The electricity generated by Bayat Power-1 is sold to Da Afghanistan Breshna Shekrat (DABS), the national power company. This unique and innovative partnership between Bayat Power and DABS—the first ever between an Afghan owned power company and DABS—ensures that the electricity produced by Bayat Power-1 is distributed throughout Afghanistan.
