ACWA Power starts construction of 100 MW Nukus wind project in Karakalpakstan
ACWA Power has started the construction works for the 100 MW Nukus onshore wind farm project in the region of Karakalpakstan in Uzbekistan.
The ground-breaking comes less than two months after binding project agreements were signed with the government of the Republic of Uzbekistan and JSC National Electric Grid (NEGU), the off-taker. The project has an estimated total investment of US$108 million. It is expected to reach the financial close by the third quarter of 2022.
The project will be equipped with wind turbines, each generating capacity of 5 MW, and can collectively generate enough power for about 120,000 local homes.
