QAZAQ GREEN.  Voltalia has launched construction of the Artemisya hybrid energy cluster in Uzbekistan, marking a key step in the development of the country’s energy storage and renewable generation infrastructure. The first phase includes a 100 MW / 200 MWh battery storage system and a 100 MW wind power facility.

The project follows the signing of a power purchase agreement (PPA) between Voltalia and the Government of Uzbekistan in March 2025. The agreement formalised the creation of the Artemisya cluster, the first hybrid project in Central Asia combining solar, wind and energy storage.

The partnership is based on a 25-year electricity sales contract for solar and wind generation and a 15-year contract for storage capacity. In total, the Artemisya cluster предусматривает 126 MW of solar power, 300 MW of wind power and 100 MW / 200 MWh of battery storage.

Construction of the initial phase began after investment agreements were signed on 5 December 2025, in the presence of the President of Uzbekistan. Commissioning of the facilities is scheduled for 2027.

Located in the Bukhara region, the Artemisya cluster is expected to strengthen the flexibility and reliability of Uzbekistan’s power system, support national targets of reaching 8 GW of renewable capacity by 2026 and 12 GW by 2030, and reduce carbon emissions through greater use of clean energy.

Voltalia CEO Robert Klein said the project confirms the company’s long-term commitment to Uzbekistan’s energy transition, noting that hybrid solutions with storage are essential for grid stability and effective integration of renewable generation.
