Another Uzbek wind farm for Acwa: <\/strong>Saudi renewables giant Acwa Power signed a SAR 18.2 bn (c. USD 4.9 bn) power purchase agreement with the National Electric Grid of Uzbekistan (Negu)<\/a> to develop a new 5 GW wind farm \u2014 set to become the largest in Central Asia<\/a>, it said in a disclosure to Tadawul<\/a> on Thursday. The 25-year contract for the Aral 5GW wind independent power producer project is under a build, own, operate, and transfer model. <\/p>\n

What we don\u2019t know: <\/strong>Information about the construction timeline and financing was not made public. <\/p>\n

Beating its own record:<\/strong> The Aral project \u2014 which is the 15th project by Acwa Power in Uzbekistan \u2014 beats a planned 1.5 GW wind energy farm by Acwa Power that it said last year<\/a> would be the largest in Central Asia. It is the second agreement Acwa Power signs with Negu for a wind plant in nearly a month after it signed a SAR 985 mn power purchase agreement<\/a> to develop a 200 MW wind farm known as Nukus 2 as well as a battery energy storage system. This brings Acwa Power\u2019s total investments to Uzbekistan at USD 13.9 bn, with the Central Asian country becoming its second largest after Saudi.<\/p>\n

BACKGROUND- Acwa has been busy in Uzbekistan: <\/strong>Acwa signed three power<\/a>purchase agreements<\/a> totaling USD 2.5 bn with Negu and the country\u2019s Investment, Industry, and Trade Ministry for 1.4 GW worth of solar projects and three battery story facilities with capacity of 1.5 GWh last year. It also broke ground on a pilot green hydrogen production project<\/a> in the Tashkent region last November.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
