Uzbekistan is targeting the launch of green energy capacities amounting to 2 GW by the end of this year, according to plans outlined by the country’s president Shavkat Mirziyoyev on May 23.
A green energy development programme adopted in February this year states that the country will install photovoltaic solar panels with a total capacity of 220 MW on government agencu and social facility buildings.
A little more than a quarter of the targeted renewable energy capacity has, meanwhile, been installed in Tashkent.
During a recent trip to China, an Uzbek delegation reached agreements for the construction of 11 solar power stations and wind farms. Their total capacity will be 4.8 GW, while the investment volume will be $4.4bn.
As bne intellinews has previously reported, Uzbekistan has overtaken Kazakhstan to become Central Asia’s leader in renewable energy. Heavy investment into a few mega projects means that power-hungry Uzbekistan now has about 2.6 GW of green energy capacity in all.
