First Batch of Turbines From Uzbekistan’s 1 GW Wind Power Project Connected to Grid

Updated: December 12, 2024

The Bash Wind Farm, part of the 1 GW Bukhara Wind Power Project in Uzbekistan, undertaken by China Energy Engineering Group Co., Ltd (Energy China), has reached a milestone with its first batch of 16 turbines successfully connected to the grid.

Since the project’s commencement, the team has worked closely with all stakeholders to overcome challenges such as complex installation processes and demanding transmission line construction. Rigorous measures were implemented to ensure safety, quality, and progress.

The largest single-unit wind power project under construction in Central Asia, the Bukhara Wind Power Project consists of two 500 MW wind farms, Bash and Dzhankeldy, located in the southern Kyzylkum Desert. Once operational, the project is expected to generate over 3.59 billion kWh of electricity annually, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 1.6 million tons. This will contribute significantly to Uzbekistan's green energy transition, fostering economic and social development.

The successful connection of the initial turbines provides a strong foundation for achieving full-capacity operations on schedule. Energy China remains committed to advancing Uzbekistan’s energy transformation and supporting the nation’s renewable energy goals for 2030.
