In December, testing will commence for Uzbekistan's first energy storage system.

In Fergana, the first energy storage facility in Uzbekistan is being constructed, marking a significant advancement towards establishing a 150 MW energy storage system. This unique project is being implemented by the Chinese company China Gezhouba Group Overseas Investment Co., Ltd., which has made direct investments of $144 million. The company has already proven its expertise in over 30 countries, focusing on electricity generation and the construction of alternative power plants.

The decision to implement the project was made in February of this year, and the permit to begin construction was obtained during the President's visit to the Fergana region in July. In just three and a half months, a significant amount of work has been completed: battery systems have been installed, and the installation of high-voltage lines has been finalized, while the construction of auxiliary facilities continues.

The company's plans include connecting electricity by the end of November, testing in December, and full commissioning starting in January 2025, which will meet the electricity needs of 600,000 people. In Uzbekistan, more than 13 projects are planned, with two already successfully completed: solar power plants with a capacity of 500 MW in the Bukhara and Kashkadarya regions.

As part of the current project, 90 battery systems with a capacity of 2 MW each will be installed, ensuring a continuous supply of electricity, especially during peak consumption hours in the morning and evening. The excess energy stored will be fed back into the grid during shortages, significantly enhancing the reliability of energy supply.
