Voltalia signs two Uzbekistan renewables & storage agreements

Renewable energy developer Voltalia has signed two agreements to advance renewable energy and energy storage developments in Uzbekistan.

The agreements consist of: an implementation protocol for the next steps in the development of the Shurkul hybrid project, a solar, wind and battery storage project with a capacity of up to 500MW in the Navoi region; and an extension protocol for the Sarimay project, a 123MW solar power plant in the Khorezm region, which includes plans for an additional 100MW of wind energy, complemented by battery storage.

Sébastien Clerc, CEO of Voltalia, said: "These two bilateral agreements strengthen our presence in Uzbekistan. We are particularly proud that our expertise in multi-energy clusters can support the country's trajectory towards a predominantly renewable energy supply, as well as strengthen its energy independence."
