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).
The SPVs will be co-owned by Sumitomo Corporation, Shikoku Electric Power Company and Chubu Electric Power Company. The investment marks the first foray into renewable-energy and battery energy storage systems (BESSs) in Uzbekistan by the Japanese investors. The financing package consists of two senior secured loans.
Together, the two SPVs will introduce the largest combined solar photovoltaic (1 GW) and BESS (1,336 MWh) capacity in Uzbekistan and across the region. This unprecedented deployment of BESS capacity will help the grid to mitigate the intermittency of renewable energy sources.
The project company is committed to selling electricity to the state-owned National Electric Grid of Uzbekistan JSC under a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement for the project, including a 10-year operating term for the BESS component, signed by these two entities.
