The Government of the Republic of Uzbekistan is implementing an ambitious renewable energy strategy to deploy in the next 10 years up to 5GW of cost effective and environment-friendly solar generation to meet the large demand increase of the country.

The Government of Uzbekistan is launching a Request for Qualifications for the first project of the 1GW solar photovoltaic program developed with the support of the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The program is supported by the Ministry of Investments and Foreign Trade (MIFT), the Ministry of Energy (MOE), and the Public – Private Partnership Development Agency under the Ministry of Finance (PPPDA).

A site situated in the Sherabad district of Surkhandarya region has been selected for the construction of a photovoltaic station with a minimum capacity of 200MWac including a new 220/110/10 kV substation and a 52km transmission line to connect to the Surkhan 220kV substation.

The Government has been preparing an international tender with the assistance of ADB to attract and select a qualified private developer-investor for the Project, under the new PPP Law. On February 22, 2020, 54 individual companies and consortia submitted an Expression of Interest (EOI) to participate in the tender. The Government of Uzbekistan is now inviting the interested parties who previously registered an EOI to submit their qualification applications by latest on Tuesday August 25, 2020 (18.00 Tashkent Time).

MIFT and MOE are being advised by ADB, with the support of White & Case as international and local counsel, Centil Law as local counsel, Suntrace GmbH as technical consultant and Synergy Consulting as financial modelling firm.

The Asian Development Bank has long been promoting key reforms in the energy sector, as well as pioneering the development of solar power in Uzbekistan, starting with the creation of the solar institute in 2013, the establishment of the solar energy roadmap in 2014 and the commissioning of several studies to evaluate the solar potential in Uzbekistan. ADB was mandated by the Government in August 2019 to provide transaction advisory services for the 1GW solar program to help the country achieve its overall goals of lowering the cost of its energy sources for the benefit of the population, decreasing its dependence on fossil fuel, and reducing overall CO2 emissions in energy production………….
