Uzbekistan is increasing its share of
renewable energy sources and is currently implementing a number of green
projects. Work on six of these projects, as well as an energy storage system,
is being carried out in cooperation with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates
(UAE), Switzerland, and China. In partnership with China, a 500-megawatt solar
photovoltaic power plant was built in the country last year. It now generates
over one billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, meeting one-third of
the energy needs of the Bukhara region.
«We are already generating at full capacity -
500 megawatt-hours. The site is equipped with two transformers. Inside, we use
57 inverter units. Nearly one million solar panels have been installed. The
electricity generated is fed into the general power grid,» noted Deputy Project
Director Bekzod Narzullaev.
«At present, the equipment is reliably
supplying the required amount of electricity. An analysis of the area’s
characteristics explains why this specific location was chosen for the
construction of the station - the indicators confirm its efficiency. From here,
500 megawatts of power are transmitted to the general grid. The station was
built in accordance with the most modern standards, and I am confident that it
will reliably serve the development of Uzbekistan’s energy system for many
years to come,» said Duan Ruibing, Control Room Engineer at the station, China.
