Tashkent, Uzbekistan – July 23 (local time) – The first battery cabin for the energy storage station of the Tashkent Solar-Storage Project in Uzbekistan has been successfully installed. The project is jointly undertaken by China Energy Engineering Corporation (CEEC) International Group, Zhejiang Thermal Power, and Anhui Institute of Engineering. This event signifies that Central Asia's largest energy storage power station, a key component of the project, has now fully entered the equipment installation and system integration phase. This lays a solid foundation for the project's full-capacity grid connection and future operations.
To ensure the safe and efficient completion of the first energy storage unit's lifting operation, the project team made advance deployments and thorough preparations. They organized specialized safety training addressing lifting safety and transportation risks, conducted in-depth road surveys and operational condition analyses, and optimized and rehearsed the operational plan. All operating conditions were comprehensively checked, and safety protection measures were strictly enforced. During the operation, all teams worked in an orderly and coordinated manner, maintaining precise control throughout the process to complete the high-quality installation. Moving forward, the project department will focus on overall planning, rationally allocating human and material resources to advance the project's execution efficiently and with high quality.
The Uzbekistan Tashkent Solar-Storage Project is an Independent Power Producer (IPP) project jointly developed by ACWA Power and the Ministry of Energy of Uzbekistan. The project's energy storage station utilizes a single-stage distributed energy storage technology with a capacity of 334MW/500MWh and will feature a total of 280 installed battery cabins.
Once operational, the project will be capable of storing no less than 500,000 kWh of clean electricity in a single charge. This will significantly enhance energy efficiency in the Tashkent region, alleviate pressure on the local power grid, and benefit millions of residents.
