Voltalia signs PPA for 526MW Uzbek hybrid
The Artemisya solar, wind and energy storage hybrid project is located in the Bukhara region of Uzbekistan.
7. The Project builds on the World Bank energy program in Uzbekistan by scaling up the private investment and commercial financing, diversification of power mix from domestic resources (solar), clean energy transition and decarbonization.
Uzbekistan remains one of the most energy-intensive economies in the world. Energy use is largely based on fossil fuels, although the country has significant RE potential in solar and wind. Natural gas makes up to 83 percent of total primary energy consumption and more than 80 percent of the electricity mix.
In addition to providing renewable energy generation, the Bukhara Solar IPP will be a first-of-its-kind project to solve the intermittency issues resulting from renewable energy generation integration by coupling the 250 MW solar PV plant with 63 MW/126 MWh of BESS.
To this end, a Presidential Resolution dated October 5, 2019, approved the Strategy for Uzbekistan's Transition to a Green Economy over the period of 2019–2030.
