Two of ACWA Power’s ongoing projects in the country, the 1.5GW Sirdarya CCGT plant and the first 100 MW phase of the Riverside solar plant in the Tashkent region, were officially inaugurated during the ceremony that saw the agreement signed in the presence of Prince Abdulaziz Bin Salman Al Saud, Minister of Energy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and Uzbek Prime Minister Abdulla Aripov.
The President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Miramonovich Mirziyoyev, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Energy, Abdulaziz Bin Salman Al Saud, were present at the ceremony. Aral Wind IPP, ACWA Power’s fifteenth project in Uzbekistan, demonstrates the company’s unwavering dedication to supplying the renewable energy required to meet the Central Asian nation’s ambitious targets to have 40% of its energy mix provided by renewables by 2030.
The historic project will provide clean power to approximately 4.5 million houses in Uzbekistan. This country is propelling its energy transition thanks to its ambitious and decisive leadership,” stated Mohammad Abunayyan, the founder and chairman of the board of ACWA Power. We are honored to work with the government of Uzbekistan to improve the lives of millions of people in a nation we are honored to have close ties to by exporting our low-carbon expertise outside Saudi Arabia’s borders.
The Aral Wind IPP’s deployment will have five stages. This groundbreaking project will produce about 18,500 GWh of clean electricity yearly, displace 247 billion tonnes of CO2 over its lifetime, and power about four million homes, making it a significant milestone in Uzbekistan’s green energy sector.
