Solar & Storage EPC in Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan is building at scale — a 1 GW solar plant with storage in Samarkand and a pipeline well beyond that. Gulf developers are already deeply involved, which makes a UAE contractor a natural fit.
- Scale
- 1 GW Samarkand + storage
- Pipeline
- 1,370 MW+ in development
- Support
- World Bank hybrid projects
- Route
- Auctions and IPPs
The market
Uzbekistan has moved faster than most observers expected. Large grid-connected PV is being deployed across Samarkand, Jizzakh and other regions, including a 1 GW solar plant with an energy storage system in the Samarkand region, and the development pipeline exceeds 1,370 MW.
The World Bank is supporting hybrid power plant projects with solar components to strengthen energy security in off-grid areas, and auction mechanisms are expected to accelerate the market further.
Why a Gulf contractor has an advantage here. Emirati and Saudi developers are already among the most active investors in Uzbek renewables. A UAE-headquartered EPC contractor speaks the same commercial language as the sponsors financing these projects, and understands the same continental climate extremes — high summer irradiation, dust, and genuinely cold winters that change module and battery selection.

Frequently asked questions
How large is Uzbekistan's solar programme?
Substantial and growing. A 1 GW solar plant with energy storage is being built in the Samarkand region, and the broader development pipeline exceeds 1,370 MW.
How are renewable projects procured in Uzbekistan?
Primarily through competitive auctions and independent power project tenders, with support from the World Bank and other international financial institutions for hybrid and off-grid projects.
Why does a Gulf contractor suit this market?
Emirati and Saudi developers are among the most active investors in Uzbek renewables, so a UAE-headquartered contractor aligns with the sponsors financing these projects. The continental climate also demands specific module and battery selection that differs from temperate markets.
