(ECNS) -- The Bash and Zankeldi Wind Power Project in Uzbekistan, co-developed by China Southern Power Grid, was put into operation earlier this month, becoming the largest wind power project in Central Asia, according to the company.
The project was completed about two months ahead of schedule. Fully connected to Uzbekistan's national power grid, it is expected to provide approximately three billion kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 1.6 million metric tons.
To adapt to local fluctuating climatic conditions, the project utilizes China's independently developed 6.5-megawatt high-capacity wind turbines, maximizing wind energy capture and offering high performance and durability.
A representative from China Southern Power Grid International (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. stated that they will transform the project into a high-standard, beneficial, and sustainable green energy cooperation model, contributing to the green and low-carbon energy transformation of Uzbekistan and the entire Central Asia region.
The wind power project is located in the southern part of the Kyzylkum Desert, with a total installed capacity of 1.027 million kilowatts. It is jointly invested, constructed, and operated by Saudi Arabia's ACWA Power and China Southern Power Grid International (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd., with shareholdings of 65 percent and 35 percent, respectively.
