At 11:16:18 local time on December 7, the China Power Jizzakh 500MW photovoltaic project in Uzbekistan successfully achieved its first grid connection, with an initial capacity of 50MW. This marks a critical milestone for the project, officially entering the final commissioning phase before full operation.
It is reported that the project completed its reverse power transmission at 07:06 local time on December 5. As the first power generation project of China Power in Uzbekistan and its largest overseas photovoltaic project, it is located in the Farish District of Jizzakh Region, Uzbekistan. The center of the project site is approximately 200 kilometers in a straight line from the capital, Tashkent. The project is constructed in two phases: the first phase of 300MWac commenced in December 2024, while the second phase of 200MWac started in April 2025 and was completed in just 8 months, setting a new record for the construction speed of large-scale photovoltaic projects in Central Asia.
The successful grid connection not only delivers significant environmental benefits but also creates considerable social value. The project team overcame challenges posed by the local complex environment and advanced construction efficiently, achieving key milestones such as the reverse power transmission of the step-up substation. Moreover, during the construction period, the project provided employment for over 700 local residents, achieving a win-win outcome in both project progress and localized development.
