USAID provides over $1.4m energy equipment to Central Asia

This is part of its $39m project to support Central Asia's power sector.

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has handed over $1.4m worth of energy sector management equipment and software to the Coordinating Dispatch Center (CDC) Energia in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

In a statement, Uzbekistan's Ministry of Energy said will boost Central Asia's management and monitoring of electricity flows, enabling a stable grid and opportunities for regional electricity trade.

“Uzbekistan plays a vital role in the region due to its central geographical location, abundant energy resources, and key infrastructure. As Central Asia’s power system expands and becomes more complex, innovative solutions are imperative for energy sector development planning. Together, we are creating the foundation for a sustainable future to address the complex challenges of the energy transition," said US Ambassador to Uzbekistan Jonathan Henick.
