126 MW Solar Project becomes operational in Uzbekistan
Voltalia, an international player in renewable energies, announces the first megawatt-hours of its 126-megawatt solar power plant located in Sarimay, in the Khorezm region of Uzbekistan. This milestone marks a decisive step towards the full commissioning of the site, with construction launched in May 2024 now reaching its final stage.
warded through a public tender in December 2022 and backed by a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA), this 180-hectare project features more than 180,000 bifacial solar panels, over 350 inverters, and a three-kilometer transmission line. Once fully operational, the plant will generate around 252 gigawatt-hours per year- enough to power 60,000 residents - and avoid more than 140,000 tons of CO₂ emissions annually.
Financed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) with support from the European Fund for Sustainable Development Plus, Voltalia has led the project from development through engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) supervision as well as operations, with maintenance planned once the plant becomes operational.
