Construction of the second hydroelectric power station of the Naryn cascade in Uzbekistan has started

The construction of the second hydroelectric power station (HPP-2) on the Naryn River has started in the Namangan region of Uzbekistan. The project is being implemented within the framework of the renewable energy development program and is the first example of fully national financing in the country — all work is carried out at the expense of Uzbekhydroenergo. This is reported by the company’s press service.

The construction of HPP-2 is part of a large-scale project to create a cascade of six hydroelectric power stations, each of which will have an installed capacity of 38 megawatts. In addition, the launch of the cascade of stations will allow saving up to 277 million cubic meters of natural gas annually, which is important from the point of view of improving energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions into the atmosphere.

Simultaneously with HPP-2, the construction of the first cascade station, HPP-1, continues.

The project is considered as one of the key elements of Uzbekistan’s strategy for the transition to sustainable energy and reducing dependence on fossil fuels. The project is being implemented by Uzbekhydroenergo Joint Stock Company, and the entire cycle of work, from design to commissioning, is carried out by the company. Particular attention is paid to the localization of production: the project uses the main technological equipment, in particular hydraulic units produced at enterprises of Uzbekistan.
