Uzbekistan has taken another step toward enhancing its renewable energy infrastructure by signing a series of agreements to implement major green energy projects, including the construction of a 100-megawatt electricity storage system in the capital city, Tashkent.
The Ministry of Energy announced that three agreements were signed on July 24 between Wind and Solarshine for Electricity Distribution Panels Manufacturing and China Energy International Group. The agreements aim to accelerate the development of renewable energy and modernize Uzbekistan’s energy sector.
The second agreement in the package is a consulting contract for the design and implementation of the 100 MW electricity storage system in Tashkent. This facility will help store electricity during periods of low demand and release it when consumption rises, improving grid reliability and efficiency.
Electricity storage systems play a vital role in integrating renewable energy sources such as solar and wind into the national grid by balancing supply and demand. Uzbekistan has already launched a similar large-scale system with a total capacity of 300 MW in Andijan and Fergana regions — the first of its kind in the country.
The first agreement involves consulting services for a 500 MW wind power plant in the Peshku district of Bukhara region, one of the largest planned renewable projects in Central Asia. Once operational, it is expected to supply clean energy to hundreds of thousands of households.
The third agreement is an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contract for the implementation of construction works tied to the broader green energy agenda.
According to the Ministry of Energy, these initiatives are aligned with Uzbekistan's national strategy to achieve sustainable development goals and transition to a low-carbon economy.
