Masdar amassed 1.4 GW of clean energy projects to the Uzbekistan national grid

The major energy producer has also inked a deal to develop a 2 GW wind farm.

Masdar has totalled over 1.4 gigawatt (GW) worth of clean energy projects connected to the national power grid of Uzbekistan.

This feat has been witnessed by His Excellency Shavkat Mirziyoyev, President of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

Alongside this new milestone, Masdar has also signed a landmark agreement with the Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of Investments, Industry and Trade of the Republic of Uzbekistan for the development of a 2 GW wind farm and 500 MWh of battery energy storage. The project is projected to supply over 1 million homes and reduce 4 million tonnes of carbon emissions yearly.

The deal also comprises 1,150 megawatt hours of battery energy storage capacity on five Masdar projects. Projects connected to the grid include the Zarafshan wind farm and three solar projects in Jizzakh, Samarkand, and Sherabad, all representing the largest solar development program in the region.

With the agreement, it brings Masdar’s total investment in Uzbekistan to over $4b.

“Uzbekistan is a key strategic destination for Masdar. The connection of these great projects demonstrates our long-term commitment to Uzbekistan and our capability to fast track projects, taking them from inception to implementation,” Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi, CEO of Masdar, stated.

Currently, the nation has been aiming for over 7 GW of solar power output and 5 GW of wind capacity by the end of the decade.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
