The Uzbekistani Government entered a power purchase agreement (PPA) and government support agreement (GSA) with Masdar.

Under the terms of the agreement, the UAE-based company will be responsible to design, finance and build the plant. It will also operate the 100MW photovoltaic power station for a 25-year period.

It is expected that the construction work will start in the first quarter of 2020 and take a year to complete.

Uzbekistan Minister of Investments and Foreign Trade Sardor Umurzakov said: “The signing of the government support agreement with Masdar is a historical event, which proves again that the reforms and transformations begun under the supervision of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev three years ago have a non-reversible nature.
