Supporting the transition to secure, clean and affordable energy
Energy Week Central Asia & Mongolia
The event brings together authorities and energy companies from Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Mongolia as well as international financial institutions and major multinational investors, EPC and consultancy firms for a dialogue aimed at fostering the deployment of renewable energy in the region and attracting foreign direct investment.
Solar PV
The region has enormous solar potential coupled with favourable conditions. A UAE developer secured three solar projects in Uzbekistan, which will have a combined capacity of 900 MW. They have also signed an agreement with the Kyrgyz government to develop a pipeline of renewable projects with a capacity of up to 1 GW. The first project in the pipeline is a 200 MW solar plant, scheduled to begin operation in 2026.
Wind Energy
Wind energy has the greatest potential among all RES in some countries of the region. A French multi-energy company signed an agreement for the construction of the largest wind energy project ever initiated in Kazakhstan. The 200 wind turbines, totalling 1 GW of installed capacity, will be combined with a 600 MWh battery storage system. Whereas in Uzbekistan, a Saudi energy company signed an agreement for the development of a 1.5 GW project in the Karakalpakstan region.
Hydropower
By hydro resources, Tajikistan is ranked top in Central Asia and eighth in the world, with approximately
220 terawatt-hours of technically recoverable resources and 3600 MW Rogun HPP under construction. In Kyrgyzstan, the hydropower potential is estimated at 142.5 billion kWh, which is currently only used by 10%. Uzbekistan is to develop 3.8 GW by 2030, with 100 MM Khojikent PSHPP, 100 MW Mullalak HPP, and 100 MW Upper-Pskem HPP among investment projects planned for 2023-2028.
