Winning bidder announced for 1.3 GW gas-fired PPP project in Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan announces winning bidder for a 1,200–1,600-megawatt combined cycle gas turbine power plant to be built in Uzbekistan's Syrdarya region. The winning consortium comprises EDF – Nebras Power – Sojitz Corporation.
The Syrdarya high-efficiency thermal power plant is part of the energy transition that will help modernize Uzbekistan's power infrastructure, improve the supply of electricity, and allow the country to significantly decrease its usage of natural gas for generation purposes. IFC has advised the Government of Uzbekistan on the structuring and implementation of a public-private partnership (PPP) and assisted in the competitive international tender for the project. The program is being implemented in partnership with the Global Infrastructure Facility.
A company to be created by the winning bidder will enter a 25-year power purchase agreement with the National Electric Grid of Uzbekistan to design, finance, build, operate, and maintain the thermal power plant.
The new Syrdarya CCGT thermal power plant will have almost two times higher efficiency compared to the old generation fleet, resulting in more efficient usage of natural gas and decreased CO2 emissions.
