The Ministry of Energy of Uzbekistan has announced plans to launch the third Corporate Cooperation Model (PPP) project in the first quarter of 2021, as part of the IFC 1GW photovoltaic project mandate, in order to implement the national electricity supply target for 2020-2030 and achieve the strategy of large-scale renewable energy.
The project consists of three sub-projects with a total capacity of 500MW, which are publicly tendering to private companies in accordance with DFBOM mode. Among them, the 250MW (AC) project located in Bukhara region is photovoltaic + energy storage mode, with a battery capacity of 50MW and a charging-discharging time of about 2-4 hours (tentative).The other two 150MW (AC) and 100MW (AC) projects are located in Namangan and Khwarazm districts respectively, both of which are pure photovoltaic projects.The projects will sign a 25-year PPA contract and the state-owned power company will pay the electricity based on a variable tariff.
