From Rosatom advances nuclear power projects in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan

How could Rosatom's nuclear construction outsourcing affect the Fergana Region?

Possible What happens if… A possibility worth considering, not a forecast.

Nuclear project outsourcing may boost construction jobs in Fergana Region The nuclear power project in the Jizzakh region, Uzbekistan, is undergoing construction, with two small modular reactors (SMRs) already being built. Rosatom has stated its intention to outsource a significant portion of the general construction work to Uzbek companies. As a major economic area within Uzbekistan, the Fergana Region is likely to be involved in this outsourcing, potentially leading to increased demand for labor and construction services in the region (reasoning).

How it reaches Fergana Region

The facts so far

As reported. Each one links to where it comes from.

  • Two small modular reactors (SMRs) are under construction at the site in the Jizzakh region.world-nuclear-news.org
  • Rosatom intends to outsource a significant portion of the general construction work to Uzbek companies.world-nuclear-news.org
  • The nuclear complex in the Jizzakh region comprises two large VVER-1000 units and two small RITM-200N reactors.world-nuclear-news.org

Why it matters

The development of large-scale infrastructure projects like the Jizzakh nuclear complex is a major driver of economic activity in Uzbekistan. The outsourcing of construction work to local companies means that the economic benefits—in the form of jobs and increased demand for materials and services—are intended to be distributed across the country's industrial and economic centers.

For the Fergana Region, which is a significant economic hub, this outsourcing represents a potential injection of capital and labor demand. While the project is located in Jizzakh, the reliance on a national supply chain and workforce means that regional economic growth could be stimulated by the nuclear build-out.

What we don't know yet

  • What specific percentage of the general construction work is planned to be outsourced to Uzbek companies?
  • Will the outsourcing contracts prioritize companies from specific regions, such as the Fergana Region?

Is this still moving?

What would change this answer

Rosatom increases the scope of outsourced construction workThe potential for job creation and economic stimulus in regions like Fergana would become stronger and more immediate.
Uzbek companies prioritize using domestic supply chains over international onesThe economic benefits of the project would be more likely to remain within Uzbekistan, benefiting regional economies like Fergana.
