BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 28. Uzbekistan’s
electrical engineering association, Uzeltexsanoat, is exploring
cooperation with Oman’s Voltamp Energy to establish high-voltage
transformer production in Uzbekistan and localize the manufacture
of key components.
The Uzbek Association of Electrical Engineering Enterprises
announced the initiative on October 27, following a visit by an
Uzbek delegation to the Voltamp Power SAOC manufacturing plant in
Sohar, Oman.
The delegation was led by Bakhtiyor Khaydarov, director of
Uzbekistan’s Agency for Industrial Cooperation and Public
Procurement, and Mirziyod Yunusov, chairman of Uzeltexsanoat.
During the visit, the parties discussed opportunities to develop
cooperation in transformer manufacturing and increase local
production of key components in Uzbekistan.
During the visit, the Uzbek delegation examined the company’s
high-voltage transformer manufacturing technologies, quality
control systems, and experience in localizing components.
The delegation also held talks with Sayyid Aymen bin Hamad
al-Busaidi, chairman of Voltamp Energy’s board of directors, and
Muhammad Ajmal Basha, the company’s chief executive officer.
The discussions focused on the possibility of launching
high-voltage transformer production in Uzbekistan with the
participation of Nura Group, as well as localizing key
components.
The proposed cooperation could support the development of
Uzbekistan’s electrical equipment industry, expand domestic
manufacturing capabilities and reduce reliance on imported
components. However, the announcement did not specify the project’s
planned capacity, investment value, or implementation timeline.
The visit followed a meeting on October 16 between Uzbek
President Shavkat Mirziyoyev and Voltamp Energy Chairman Sayyid
Aymen bin Hamad al-Busaidy. The sides discussed prospects for
cooperation in solar energy and high-voltage transformer
manufacturing.
The follow-up visit to Oman was aimed at examining manufacturing
technologies and exploring practical opportunities to advance
cooperation in the electrical engineering sector.
