On July 23rd local time, the first battery cabin for the energy storage station of the Tashkent, Uzbekistan Solar-Storage Project was successfully installed. The project is jointly constructed by China Energy Engineering Corporation (CEEC) International Group, Zhejiang Thermal Power, and Anhui Institute. This event signifies that Central Asia's largest-scale 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 hoisting, the Tashkent Solar-Storage Project team planned and prepared meticulously in advance. They organized specialized safety training addressing hoisting and transportation risks, conducted in-depth road surveys and operational analyses, and optimized and rehearsed the operational plan. The team also thoroughly verified working conditions and strictly implemented safety protection measures. During the operation, all positions were well-coordinated, ensuring precise control throughout the process and completing the hoisting task to a high standard. Moving forward, the project department will coordinate planning, rationally allocate human and material resources, and advance the project's execution with high efficiency and 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 334 megawatts/500 megawatt-hours, and will feature a total of 280 battery cabins. Once completed and operational, the station will be capable of storing no less than 500,000 kilowatt-hours of clean electricity in a single charge. This will significantly enhance energy utilization efficiency in the Tashkent region, alleviate pressure on the local power grid, and benefit millions of residents.
