France/Uzbekistan: French energy producer Voltalia has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with state-owned utility JSC Uzenergosotish for its 526 MW hybrid Artemisya project in Uzbekistan.
Located in the Bukhara region, the Artemisya project combines 126 MW of solar energy, 300 MW of wind power, and 100 MW / 200 MWh of battery storage.
The agreement will provide JSC Uzenergosotish with solar and wind energy for a period of 25 years and storage for 15 years, securing the the project’s financial sustainability.
The hybrid project will produce enough power annually to meet the electricity consumption needs of 2,500,000 inhabitants in Uzbekistan and will help JSC Uzenergosotish meet the growing power demand and manage peak daily demand thanks to the storage component of the PPA.
The construction phase is set to begin in Q1 2026 for solar and storage and in Q3 2026 for wind power.
