Uzbekistan, Tashkent: Energy companies from Turkey and China have secured tenders for the construction of HV power transmission networks in Tashkent city and the Sirdarya region in Uzbekistan.
Citing the Uzbek Ministry of Energy, a news agency reported that the tenders were awarded by the National Electric Grid Joint Stock Company (JSC).
Turkish firm Şa-ra Enerji İnşaat Ticaret ve Sanayi will build 220 kV power transmission lines. The lines with a length of 213 km will be built at a proposed cost of $31.89 M.
Chinese firm Xian Electric Engineering will build a 500 kV power transmission line of 72 km at the cost of $14.68 M.
Funded by the World Bank, the implementation of these two projects is slated for 2022–2024.
The development of the power transmission lines is expected to bolster the reliability of the power supply in the Sirdarya and Tashkent regions. It will also reduce the load on the main power grid.
