Uzbekistan seeks investors for 1.5 GW CCGT power project

The Government of Uzbekistan is looking for an investor to develop a 1,500 MW CCGT power plant in the Sirdarya region, in the east of the country. The project would be developed under a public-private partnership (PPP) and would cost around US$1.1bn. Uzbekistan has a total electricity capacity of 14.3 GW, including 54% of gas-fired power plants, 19% of coal-fired plants, 14% of oil-fired power plants, and 13% of hydropower plants (end of 2018).

Uzbekistan is seeking to diversify its power mix and aims to develop up to 5 GW of solar power capacity by 2030, to meet rising electricity demand (expected growth of 5.8%/year between 2019 and 2030). In February 2020, the government published an invitation for expression of interest for two 200 MW solar power projects in the Samarkand and Jizzakh regions (east of the country). Another 200 MW solar project would be developed in Sherabad, also under a PPP.
