The Government of the Republic of Uzbekistan (GOU) is implementing a large-scale renewable energy strategy to deploy 12 GW of cost effective and environment-friendly renewable energy generation by 2030 to the increasing energy demand across the country. 

Under this initiative, the GOU has signed a memorandum of understanding with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) to cooperate on the development of large-scale wind power projects up to a total capacity of 2,000 MW (Wind Program). GOU has successfully awarded the first project under the Wind Program with a capacity of 100 MW in October 2021.

Through the current tender process to select an independent power producer, GOU wishes to advance the second project of the program, a 200 MW wind power plant, a BESS and an associated evacuation infrastructure (Project), at a site situated in the Beruniy and Qorao’zak district of the Republic of Karakalpakstan in the Republic of Uzbekistan.

A two-stage tender process with the Request for Qualification (RFQ) process, followed by a Request For Proposal (RFP) process is implemented in order to attract and select a qualified private developer-investor for the Project (the Private Partner).

Interested companies can submit their Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) by 30 June 2022, 18:00 Tashkent time.
