Phase I of 511 MW Solar Project in Uzbekistan connected to grid
Abu Dhabi Future Energy Co, also known as Masdar has announced that the Samarkand and Jizzakh solar power plants in Uzbekistan have recently connected their initial units to the grid for power generation.
They have a combined installed capacity of 511 MW. Masdar developed and built the two plants, and was contracted by International Cooperation Co Ltd, a subsidiary of Dongfang Electric Corporation. In contrast, TrinaTracker supplied both plants with 11,248 sets of Vanguard 1P trackers and the supporting Trina Smart Cloud digital SCADA platform at tracker level.
Once the project is fully connected to the grid it will generate 1.12 billion kWh a year, powering 240,000 households and cutting carbon dioxide emissions by more than 1 million tons a year.
