On December 22, JA Solar completed the shipment of all n-type modules for the ACWA Power solar project in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, PR Newswire reports. The arrival of the freight train loaded with its modules marked a significant milestone in the project’s progress.
The project agreement was signed between ACWA Power and Uzbekistan’s Joint-Stock Company (JSC) National Electric Grid of Uzbekistan (NEGU) and the Ministry of Investment, Industry and Trade. China Energy Engineering Corporation Limited contracted and constructed the project, and JA Solar supplied all the 240MW PV modules for it.
This project indicates that ACWA Power and JA Solar have made constructive progress in cooperation and demonstrates that JA Solar’s n-type modules have gained high recognition in the global market. JA Solar’s global market share reached 14% in 2021. The power generation capacity of JA Solar’s n-type module was found to be 3.9% higher than that of the p-type PERC bifacial module.
Deepening cooperation for global energy transformation
ACWA Power, a developer, investor, and operator of power generation, has established long-term cooperative relationships with JA Solar. In April 2022, Mr Yunhe Lyu, Executive Vice President and General Manager of ACWA Power China office, visited JA Solar Executive President Aiqing Yang and Vice President Tony Zhu at JA Solar Beijing Headquarters. Both parties expressed their willingness to deepen cooperation in the field of renewable energy and localized manufacturing to promote global energy transformation.
Promoting development of PV market in Uzbekistan
Aiqing Yang, Executive President of JA Solar, commented, “We are thrilled to be participating in and promoting the development of the PV market in Uzbekistan. Three years ago, JA Solar exclusively supplied modules for the 100MW Nur Navoi solar project, the first utility-scale solar plant in Uzbekistan. As the country is working to develop a green economy, we look forward to bringing more advanced PV technologies and products to the local market, supporting Uzbekistan to reach its goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050.”
Uzbekistan has made a positive effort toward that end, including by setting clear targets and reforming the energy sector. The country aims to increase the share of renewable energy sources in total electricity generation to more than 25% by 2030. It also plans to double its energy efficiency indicator, reduce the carbon intensity of GDP, and provide the entire population and all economic sectors with access to modern, inexpensive, and reliable energy.
