21 May 2020
Seventy companies from 30 countries have expressed an interest in building a wind power plant in Uzbekistan. “We are delighted that there has been such a positive response," Sherzod Khodjaev, deputy energy minister, said.
"This wind power project is the first of an ambitious program to not only meet an increasing demand for energy but also build a more sustainable and affordable energy ecosystem in Uzbekistan."
The companies which responded to the Apr. 16 tender announcement are listed on the ministry website. They include many from China, as well as from groups in South Korea, such as Samsung and Korea Electric Power Corp.; Japan, including Marubeni, Mitsui and Toyota; European players like Eni and Vitol; US giant General Electric; and Abu Dhabi Future Energy Co.

The tender is part of Uzbekistan’s national energy strategy aimed at generating 25% of its electricity from renewables by 2030. It will be held in the standard two-stage format, with the preferred bidder charged with developing, financing, building and operating the 100MW scheme in the Qorao’zak district. There are also plans to build a second wind farm adjacent to the site of the first, for which a similar tender will be held shortly.
Uzbekistan has gone through numerous reforms in the last three years under President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, including the liberalisation of the energy and PPP sectors. It has signed agreements with development banks like EBRD, ADB and IFC to develop and finance huge pipelines of solar and wind projects. And it seems the domestic framework and multilateral support has provided investors with high levels of certainty, leading to substantial interest in recent tenders.
In March 2019, 23 companies from Europe, Asia and the Middle East for a 100MW PV project in Navoi. And in October Masdar Clean Energy became the winner of the country’s first competitively tendered IPP to be developed as a PPP. Earlier this year, 45 companies expressed interest in a tender for the IFC-backed,1.25GW–1.5GW Syrdarya gas-fired power plant. And shortly afterwards, a further 54 EOIs were received in a 200MW solar farm, tendered with ADB-backing.
