TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, January 16. Uzbekistan,
in cooperation with Masdar and Etihad Water & Electricity (EUDC),
will implement a renewable energy project designed to provide a
24/7 electricity supply, Trend reports via the Uzbek Ministry of Energy.
The relevant agreement was formalized during a meeting between
Uzbekistan’s Prime Minister Jamshid Khodjaev, Minister of Energy
Zhurabek Mirzamakhmudov, UAE Minister of Energy and Infrastructure
Suhail Mohammed Al Mazrouei, and Masdar’s Chief Executive Officer
Mohammed Jameel Al Ramahi, held at Sustainable Week 2026 in Abu
Dhabi.
The project envisages the provision of an uninterrupted
electricity supply with a capacity of up to 1 GW on a 24/7 basis.
The deployment of round-the-clock renewable energy generation is
expected to minimize power supply disruptions and create
large-scale baseload capacity at competitive tariffs.
Experts note that the project could serve as an international
benchmark for reliable “green” energy solutions capable of meeting
the growing global demand for sustainable power sources.
Meanwhile, within the framework of the same forum, Uzbekistan
also signed an agreement with Masdar to construct a 300-MW solar
photovoltaic power plant combined with a 75-MWh battery energy
storage system (BESS) in the country’s Kashkadarya region.
