$220M Solar and Storage Project Supplies Power to Navoiyazot in Uzbekistan
What happened
Uzbekistan completed a $220 million solar power and energy storage project in the Navoi region. The project, implemented by Chinese company Sinoma, includes a 300-megawatt solar photovoltaic plant and a 75 MW energy storage system. This facility supplies renewable electricity directly to Navoiyazot, one of the country's largest industrial enterprises.

Why it matters
The project is expected to support the wider adoption of renewable energy in Uzbekistan's industrial sector. By generating 657 million kilowatt-hours annually, it is projected to reduce Navoiyazot's annual natural gas consumption by approximately 175 million cubic meters. This move is also expected to diversify energy supplies for large enterprises in Uzbekistan.
