TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, January 2. French
renewable energy company Voltalia has started construction of a
strategic hybrid energy cluster in Uzbekistan, including the
Artemisya Storage facility with a capacity of 100 megawatts/200
megawatt-hours and a 100-megawatt wind power plant, Trend reports via the
company.
The first phase of construction began following the signing of
investment agreements on December 5, 2025, in the presence of the
President of Uzbekistan. Commissioning is scheduled for 2027.
Voltalia signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with the
government of Uzbekistan in March 2025. The agreement laid the
foundation for the Artemisya project, Central Asia’s first hybrid
energy cluster combining solar, wind, and energy storage
technologies. The partnership is based on a 25-year contract for
electricity generated by solar and wind power plants and a 15-year
contract for energy storage services. The overall project portfolio
includes 126 megawatts of solar capacity, 300 megawatts of wind
power, and battery storage systems totaling 100 megawatts/200
megawatt-hours.
The project will support Uzbekistan’s targets to increase
renewable energy capacity to eight gigawatts by 2026 and 12
gigawatts by 2030, while significantly reducing CO₂ emissions
through the expansion of clean energy.
