Background

Construction began in August 2023 and will be carried out by Turkish investor Cengiz Enerji and engineering design company Cenergo. An area of 9.5 hectares has been allocated for the station. The cost of the 450 MW thermal power plant was estimated to be $340 million, but the Turkish investors offered to invest $500 million and build a 520 MW plant. The station will generate 4.1 billion kWh of electricity per year. Commissioning of the thermal power plant is scheduled for 2025.[7]

On November 8, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev signed a decree on the construction of the plant. According to the presidential decree, the capacity has been raised to 550 MW. The facility is still planned to be commissioned in 2025. According to the document, the investor and project company will be in charge for the design, financing, construction and operation of the power station. The project company undertakes to guarantee the sale of produced electricity to the National Electric Networks (NES) of Uzbekistan company in a guaranteed manner. NES also undertakes to guarantee the purchase of electricity for 25 years. Under the investment agreement and payment agreement, electricity will be purchased at a fixed tariff in foreign currency, but paid in national currency. The tariff is not disclosed.[8]
