AMEA Power Begins Construction of 150 MW / 300 MWh Energy Storage Project in Tashkent

Dubai-based developer AMEA Power has officially begun construction of a standalone energy storage system with a capacity of 150 MW and 300 MWh. The project, located in the Mirzo-Ulugbek district of Tashkent, is designed to strengthen the stability of Uzbekistan’s national power grid and support the integration of renewable energy sources.

Technical Specifications and Project Lifespan

The facility is designed with a two-hour discharge duration at full power. According to technical specifications provided by the developer, the system is expected to operate for 15 years, enabling up to 10,950 full equivalent cycles over its lifetime.

Beyond its energy function, the project is also expected to create new jobs in the region and contribute to the sustainable development of Uzbekistan’s power sector.

Financing with EBRD Support

The total cost of the project is estimated at $85.74 million. A key financial component is support from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, which has provided a loan of up to $67.6 million (approximately €67.6 million at current exchange rates). The remaining funding will be covered by the developer’s own capital.

The investment marks another step in the expansion of large-scale energy storage infrastructure in Central Asia, aimed at improving grid flexibility and enabling higher penetration of renewable energy.
