It also needed 302 kilowatts of power which was drawn from three generators, a railway station and the Shurtan Gas and Chemicals Complex (SGCC).

  The project team included OLTIN YO'L GTL, TOShShAHARNUR, the Tashkent municipal lighting company which provided and installed the lights, and Malcolm Wells, Director of Malwell Corporate Projects, who has a long track record of managing GTL promotions, including the GTL Challenge and the Bryan Habana cheetah race.

  OLTIN YO'L GTL will be one of the most advanced energy plants in the world, producing high quality fuels and other products which will improve air quality, deliver a cleaner transport future and support growth and development.
  The technology used is similar to that of the pioneering ORYX GTL plant in Qatar.
