CEEC, Arctech Partner To Launch 400MW Solar Project InUzbekistan

Global solar tracking company Arctech announced that its SkyWings single-axis solartrackers have enabled the on-schedule grid connection of the first 400 MW phase ofChina Energy Engineering Group's (CEEC) 1GW solar project in Uzbekistan.

The country reportedly utilized 97 percent of its renewable energy potentialUzbekistan is spearheading an ambitious energy transition strategy to achievecarbon neutrality by 2050. As a major partner in Uzbekistan's infrastructuredevelopment with over $8.1 billion in green investments, CEEC's project ushers in anew era of renewable breakthroughs.

lt may be noted that Arctech has completed over 3GW of contracts in Uzbekistan. Asper the firm, Arctech's industry-leading solar trackers are tailored to withstandUzbekistan's frequent sandstorms and dry climate; CEEC's project marks amonumental milestone as the largest solar installation in Central Asia. Once fullyoperational, the 1GW project will generate 2.4 billion kWh annually, creating 1,600local jobs.

Attended by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, the grid connection ceremony solidifiedUzbekistan's commitment to accelerating its energy transition and tapping into itsvast solar potential with enabling solutions from partners like Arctech.

Having marked its third project completion in Uzbekistan in 2023,Arctech hascemented itself as a long-term partner providing solar tracking and racking systemsolutions for the country's pipeline of 3GW in signed contracts.

With Uzbekistan's economy opening up, Chinese companies like CEEC are playing anincreasingly vital role in helping develop its renewable energy capacity.

With abundant solar resources, partnerships like technology transfers and personneltraining pave the way to a more sustainable future in the coming decades.

This milestone project symbolizes the deepening collaboration between China andCentral Asia in building green infrastructure along the Belt and Road initiative.Chinese enterprises stand ready to contribute experience, technology，andinvestment to accelerate Uzbekistan's ambitious energy transition plans.
