Uzbekistan to Build New Solar Plant and First Battery Energy Storage
"The new solar plant with a battery energy storage system will not just boost the uptake of renewable energy in the country, but also help stabilize and strengthen existing
By 2030, Uzbekistan aims to source over 40% of its electricity from renewables, demonstrating its commitment to sustainability. The plan also includes advancing energy storage, with a 300 MW lithium-ion system debuting in 2024 and a goal of 4.2 GW storage capacity by 2030. The Role of Energy Storage in Renewable Energy
Uzbekistan remains one of the most energy-intensive economies in the world. Energy use is largely based on fossil fuels, although the country has significant RE potential in solar and wind. Natural gas makes up to 83 percent of total primary energy consumption and more than 80 percent of the electricity mix.
Tashkent, Uzbekistan, May 21, 2024 — The World Bank Group,Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company PJSC (Masdar), and the Government of Uzbekistan have signed a financial package to fund a 250-megawatt (MW) solar photovoltaic plant with a 63-MW battery energy storage system (BESS).
Internationally certified advanced ESS solutions also enhance grid reliability, making them indispensable for modernizing energy infrastructure. By integrating ESS into their energy mix, countries like Uzbekistan can secure energy independence while aligning with global sustainability goals.
