Uzmetkombinat steel plant (Узбекский металлургический комбинат литейно-прокатный комплекс, Узбекский металлургический комбинат, АО «Узметкомбинат»), also known as Uzbek Metallurgical Plant Uzmetkombinat, Uzbekistan Metallurgical Plant, is a steel plant in Bekobod, Tashkent, Uzbekistan that operates electric arc furnace (EAF) technology.
Location
The map below shows the exact location of the plant in Bekobod, Tashkent, Uzbekistan:
- Location: A-376, Bekobod, Uzbekistan
- Coordinates (WGS 84): 40.233432, 69.290873 (exact)
Background
OHF units were retired in 2014.[1]
The plant was expected to increase steel production to 2300 TTPA, due to the construction of a new steelmaking workshop.[2][3] As of October 2024, there have not been any updates about the project. The project was removed from the Uzmetkombinat 2024 Business Plan and is assumed to be mothballed.
Uzmetkombinat is building a new casting and rolling complex with an electric arc furnace manufacturered by Danieli.[4][5] As of April 2024, equipment installation was 58% complete, and construction and assembly work was 70% complete.[6] The project is planned to be fully commissioned in 2025-2026.[7]
Expected steel production in 2024 is 664,000 tons. In 2023, the plant's net profit decreased by 25% compared to 2022, and the number of employees by 2,000. Uzmetkombinat was building a 50 MW photovoltaic station at the EAF workshop.[4] Once the project is complete, the share of RES in the plant's total energy consumption will increase to 25%.[3] The construction was expected to end in Q1 2024.[4]
