Uzbekistan, Tashkent: Saudi ACWA Power has begun work on the $260 million Beruniy Wind Independent Power Plant (IPP) project in Uzbekistan. The project is being developed with JSC National Electric Grid of Uzbekistan (NEGU) and includes the construction of a 200 MW wind power plant and a 100 MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in the Beruniy Region of Karakalpakstan.
The company will also build a double-circuit 220 kV 45 km long power transmission line up to the Beruniy substation and construct a 100 MW electric energy storage system. The commercial operation timeline is the fourth quarter of 2026.
Once finished, the project will generate 800 million kWh of clean energy annually, enough to supply 292000 households. It will save 212 million cubic metres of natural gas and reduce CO2 emissions by 336000 tonnes per year.
