Given the fact that it has natural gas as its source of energy. Why can’t it simply by any method be used to produce energy?

You could use the heat to make steam for a turbine if you really wanted to.

Problem is it’s in the middle of the desert in Turkmenistan, a relatively poor dictatorship that lacks a well developed power infrastructure in that area and doesn’t have strong relations with wealthier nations that might be inclined to help with such efforts.

It would cost a lot of money and harness relatively little useful power.
