Jan 9, 2024 04:29 PM ET
  • Arctech's solar trackers power Uzbekistan's largest solar installation, contributing to the country's goal of carbon neutrality by 2050. Chinese companies like CEEC are driving renewable energy development in Central Asia.

Arctech, a global solar tracking company, has announced the successful grid connection of the first 400 MW phase of China Energy Engineering Group's (CEEC) 1 GW solar project in Uzbekistan. Arctech's single-axis solar trackers were used in the project, which is the largest solar installation in Central Asia. Uzbekistan aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and has utilized 97% of its renewable energy potential. The 1 GW project, once fully operational, will generate 2.4 billion kWh annually and create 1,600 local jobs.

Arctech has completed over 3 GW of contracts in Uzbekistan and is a long-term partner in providing solar tracking and racking system solutions for the country's pipeline of 3 GW in signed contracts. Chinese companies like CEEC are playing a crucial role in developing Uzbekistan's renewable energy capacity, and this project signifies the deepening collaboration between China and Central Asia in building green infrastructure along the Belt and Road initiative.
