Economy
The diversification of the energy mix and the accelerated transition to a low-carbon economy remain core priorities of the republic's long-term industrial policy, ensuring a sustainable supply of clean generation for the population and commercial sectors. On the sidelines of the fifth Tashkent International Investment Forum (TIIF-2026), the Minister of Energy of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Jurabek Mirzamahmudov, held talks with the Chief Executive Officer of the UAE's Masdar company, Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi.
The dialogue primarily focused on reviewing the milestones of their extensive joint operations and outlining the parameters for new investment initiatives in the renewable energy sector.
To date, the strategic partnership with the Emirati developer has enabled the successful integration of five solar photovoltaic stations with a combined capacity of 1,247 MW, a 500 MW wind power plant, and an advanced 63 MW energy storage system into the unified national power grid. Currently, the construction of another 300 MW solar plant is progressing at an accelerated pace in the Kashkadarya region. During the meeting, the parties thoroughly discussed the integration of cutting-edge technological solutions, the expansion of grid-scale energy storage systems, and the scaling up of the investment portfolio. Following the talks, an agreement was reached to maintain the high momentum in constructing current facilities and to elevate mutually beneficial cooperation to a qualitatively new level.
