Acwa <\/strong>has another wind plant in Uzbekistan:<\/strong> Saudi Arabia\u2019s Acwa Power has broken ground on the Beruniy wind plant in Karakalpakstan, Uzbekistan, the company said in a statement<\/a>. The USD 260 mn project, which is being developed in partnership with National Electric Grid of Uzbekistan (Negy), includes a 200 MW wind power plant and a 100 MW battery storage system. Operations are scheduled to start by 4Q 2026.<\/p>\n

By the numbers:<\/strong> The Karakalpakstan project aims to generate 0.8 TWh of clean energy annually, meeting the electricity needs of approximately 292k households, and reducing CO2 emissions by 336k tons per year, Acwa says. It will build a 45 km, double-circuit 220 kV power transmission line to connect the plant to substation.<\/p>\n

Acwa is building a significant wind portfolio in Uzbekistan: <\/strong>The company signed a SAR<\/a>18.2 bn (c. USD 4.9 bn) power purchase agreement<\/a> in May with Negu to develop a new 5 GW wind farm that\u2019s set to become the largest in Central Asia. It also signed a SAR 985 mn (c. 262.6 mn) power purchase agreement to develop the 200 MW Nukus 2 wind project<\/a> in April, and a USD 2.4 bn agreement with Negu for a 1.5 GW wind energy farm<\/a> in January 2024. Acwa has a total of 15 projects in Uzbekistan worth c. USD 13.9 bn.<\/p>\n

Solar + hydrogen are on Acwa\u2019s list too: <\/strong>Acwa secured some SAR 1.4 bn (c. USD 373.2 mn) in financing to fund its 200 MW solar PV and battery storage project<\/a> in Uzbekistan last month. Acwa also began construction<\/a> on its green hydrogen production facility \u2014 expected to be commissioned in December 2024 \u2014 in Tashkent last year. The plant will be connected to an existing ammonia production plant in Tashkent and will generate 3k tons of green hydrogen annually during its initial production phase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
