Acwa power secures financing for Uzbek wind farms: <\/strong>Saudi renewables giant Acwa Power inked a letter of intent (LOI) with the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB)<\/a> for a USD 150 mn (SAR 563 mn) line of credit to bankroll the Kungrad 1-2-3 wind power projects<\/a> in Uzbekistan, according to a statement picked up by Argaam<\/a>. The three-year financing agreement covers all three wind farms and is backed by an institutional guarantee from Acwa Power.<\/p>\n

About the projects<\/strong>: <\/strong>The Kungrad 1, 2, and 3 wind farms are located in the Republic of Karakalpakstan. Each wind farm has a 500 MW along with 100 MW of BESS. Commercial operations are set to begin in 2Q 2028.<\/span><\/p>\n

REMEMBER- <\/strong>These wind farms are part of a larger joint development agreement Acwa signed with Japan\u2019s Sumitomo Corporation earlier this month to develop 2.5 GW worth of renewable energy projects and nearly 1 GW worth of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Uzbekistan valued at USD 4.2 bn. The agreement saw Acwa divest 49% of its stake in a group of Uzbek-based renewable energy projects to Sumitomo.<\/p>\n

Acwa is doubling down on Uzbekistan:<\/strong> Aside from projects co-owned with Japan\u2019s Sumitomo, Acwa has numerous other projects in its Uzbek green energy portfolio. The company is building a green hydrogen plant<\/a> in Tashkent that will generate 3k tons of green hydrogen annually during its initial production phase, with a 52 MW wind farm to support the project. Acwa also signed three power purchase agreements totaling USD 2.5 bn<\/a> in March with the National Electric Grid of Uzbekistan and the country\u2019s Investment, Industry, and Trade Ministry for 1.4 GW worth of solar projects and three BESS units totalling a capacity of 1.5 GWh, among other initiatives in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
