A delegation led by Abdugani Sanginov, Chairman of the Board of JSC Uzbekhydroenergy, is currently visiting China on official business.
A meeting was held at the China Southern Power Grid International headquarters in Guangzhou, where the progress of cooperation was reviewed and future tasks were discussed.
Special attention was given to investment projects for the construction of the “Upper Pskem Pumped Storage Power Plant” and the “Khojikent Pumped Storage Power Plant”. It was mentioned that the preliminary documentation for the “Upper Pskem Pumped Storage Power Plant” project is almost finished and implementation is scheduled to begin in March. This will be the first pumped storage power plant in Central Asia.
The official groundbreaking ceremony is planned for March 10, and construction of the Khojikent Pumped Storage Power Plant is also expected to begin this year. Both projects are crucial for the country’s power supply and will help meet the demand for environmentally friendly electricity from the population.
