Background
In March 2022, the President of Uzbekistan held a ceremony to officially launch the construction of the power plant. The project is being implemented as part of a public-private partnership with Siemens Energy AG (Germany), EDF (France), Stone City Energy (Netherlands), and Nebras Power (Qatar).[13][14][15] Stone City Energy will be responsible for designing, financing, building, commissioning, operating and managing the power station for a period of 25 years. Funding in the amount of EUR 225 million will be provided by Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB).[15]
The power station will employ the latest technologies manufactured by Siemens Energy and will become the largest thermal power plant recently constructed in the country and the first thermal power plant in Surkhandarya producing 12 billion kWh of electricity annually[16]. It will provide electricity for 500,000 households in the Surkhandarya region[17]. The total project cost is estimated to be about $1.2bn[16][17].
Initially, the power station was expected to have the capacity of 1560 MW and be completed in 2024. According to the non-technical summary of the project, the power station's capacity will reach 1600 MW and it will begin operation in 2025[18]. Some media sources mention 2026 and 2027 as the start-up operation year.[19][20] The AIIB loan document lists 2027 as the start year.[15]
This project is an important milestone for the foreign investment community and living proof of the economic and political opening in Uzbekistan and the improving investment climate, with energy as one of the most attractive sectors[21].
As of April 2024, the power plant is under construction.[22]
