The announcement was made during the COP-29 conference in Baku, underscoring Uzbekistan’s commitment to advancing its renewable energy infrastructure.

The project, estimated at $1.1 billion, will involve a nationwide assessment of the energy system to identify optimal regions for implementing energy storage solutions in phases. 

The initiative is expected to create over 1,000 jobs during its development.

The energy storage systems aim to enhance Uzbekistan’s power grid stability and support its transition to a greener energy future.
