ADB, Masdar to build 3 new solar power plants in Uzbekistan

The plants will generate a combined 897MW of power.

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company PJSC (Masdar) have signed three loan agreements for three solar power plants in Uzbekistan.

The project is expected to generate 897 megawatts combined, making it the largest solar power development in the country. It will be located in Uzbekistan’s Surkhandarya (Sherabad), Samarkand, and Jizzahk regions.

"Uzbekistan has tremendous potential to generate clean energy through its abundant solar and wind resources, and ADB’s financing plays a part in Uzbekistan’s journey towards a carbon neutral economy,” ADB Private Sector Operations Department Director General Suzanne Gaboury, said.

“As Asia’s climate bank, ADB has increased its climate financing targets to promote meaningful decarbonization and expansion of renewables in the energy sector.”

The loans were from ADB’s ordinary capital resources, amounting to $36.7m for Sherabad, $13.5m for Samarkand, and $14.3m for Jizzakh power plant.

Moreover, ADB mobilised much-needed private institutional capital for the three power plants through the arrangement of an aggregated B-loan syndication of $37.5m. The B-loan participant is ILX Fund I, an Amsterdam-based SDG-focused emerging market private credit fund.

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.
