Uzbekistan plans to build a 300 MW energy storage system in the Navoi region, the Ministry of Energy announced. The agreement with Abu Dhabi-based company Masdar was signed at the ADIPEC 2025 international forum in the UAE.
The project is designed to enhance the stability of Uzbekistan’s power system and develop infrastructure for storing renewable energy. A similar agreement was also signed with AMEA Power at the forum, under which the company will construct a 200 MW energy facility.
