United Arab Emirates renewable energy company Masdar has partnered with Uzbekhydroenergo to evaluate the potential of national hydroelectric power storage projects.
Masdar and Uzbekhydroenergo, a state-owned hydroelectric power producer, said they were looking to enhance Uzbekistan’s renewable energy capacity and address supply challenges.
The companies will study the feasibility of constructing pumped-storage hydroelectric power plants in the Central Asian country.
Pumped hydroelectric storage provides a steady and dependable energy storage solution designed to function at a utility scale.
