| Description : |
As part of its development strategy for 2017-2021, the Uzbekistan Presidency has launched a national action plan to increase the share of hydropower in the Uzbek energy mix, namely through the renovation of the existing hydroelectric facilities. The Uzbek Government and the public operating company Uzgidro have therefore requested the French Development Agency (AFD) to finance four power plant renovation projects. The objective of the consortium of companies led by IED is to provide all technical, organizational, legal, environmental, social-economic and financial information enabling AFD to make a decision on the financing of these projects and their possible returns. The projects studied by the consortium are: 1. Increase the production capacity of the JFK-1 hydroelectric plant by more than 4MW; 2. Increase the production capacity of the JFK-2 hydroelectric plant by more than 7MW; 3. Demolition of the former Paytok disused hydropower plant and creation of a new 8 MW hydroelectric generating station on the same site; 4. General security of the dam and the Charvak hydroelectric power station. |
