Project features

The GoU want to structure and tender a PPP transaction (the “Project” or “Phase II”) for the design, financing, construction, O&M of CCGT plant with a capacity of approx. 1,500 MW. Earlier in 2019, the GoU have also signed MoU with another project developer to develop a similar capacity plants (“Phase I”) in the close vicinity of the Projects. The proposed site area for the Projects are located near the existing Syrdarya TPP, which with the capacity of 3,050 MW is the largest power plant in Uzbekistan. Recently 4 units or a total of 950 MW of the Syrdarya TPP have been rehabilitated and they are expected to be used for regulated capacities even though other old units are to be decommissioned in line with the implementation of new CCGT power plants. All these factors make the Project technically the most complex in Uzbekistan power system.
