The signing of the agreement took place in Riyadh.
The Chinese company is to act as the main contractor for the plant.
In March, Uzbekistan’s National Electric Networks inked an agreement with ACWA for a 400-MW power plant project in Yukorichirchik district. In addition to the solar farm, the complex will include a 334-MW energy storage system.
