ADB said it will be one of the first utility-scale renewable energy projects with a battery energy storage system (BESS) component in Uzbekistan. It follows the announcement of the county’s first BESS in May 2024 and the connection of the first phase of a 511 MW solar project in March of this year.
Tashkent, Uzbekistan, May 21, 2024 — The World Bank Group,Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company PJSC (Masdar), and the Government of Uzbekistan have signed a financial package to fund a 250-megawatt (MW) solar photovoltaic plant with a 63-MW battery energy storage system (BESS).
Separately, ACWA Power recently announced financial close on a 200 MW solar plant and 500 MWh BESS near the national capital, Tashkent. Uzbekistan had 253 MW of cumulative installed solar capacity at the end of last year, according to figures from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).
Uzbekistan is rapidly transforming its energy sector with a focus on renewable energy to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Since 2021, the country has added 10 new renewable plants, including nine solar and one wind facility, with a total capacity exceeding 2,500 MW, alongside over 2,200 MW from hydroelectric plants.
