Uzbekistan’s 131MWp solar farm goes online

The Tutly power plant is seen to generate 270GWh of electricity.

Paris-based independent power producer Total Eren has commissioned the 131 megawatt-peak (MWp) Tutly solar photovoltaic project in the Samarkand region of Uzbekistan.

In a statement, Total Eren said the Tutly power plant is expected to produce 270 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electricity annually, enough to supply power to around 140,000 people, whilst reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 160,000 tonnes yearly.

It also created job opportunities for over 300 workers on-site during the construction phase and 15 permanent jobs for the operation phase.

The electricity generated by Tutly will be supplied to the state-owned power utility National Electricity Network of Uzbekistan.

Total Eren said the project it developed was initially launched in October 2018 with the signing of a framework agreement between the company, Uzbekistan’s ministry of investment and foreign trade, and the state-owned power utility.

The project was financed by the European Investment Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and Proparco through a EUR43.7m loan, and two loans of about EUR21.8m each, respectively.

Uzbekistan’s power generation is largely dependent on thermal power plants, mainly gas and coal. Tutly power plant will support the government's target to reach 12GW of the renewable capacity of solar and wind and to produce 25% of electricity generated in the country from renewable sources by 2030.

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.
