Project Description
The Project Development Objectives (PDO) are to (i) strengthen the performance of the National Electricity Grid of Uzbekistan (NEGU), and (ii) improve the capacity and reliability of the power transmission system to integrate large-scale renewable energy sources. The Project has the following four components: (a) Digitalization of the electricity transmission sector, (b) Power grid strengthening and renewable energy integration, (c) NEGU institutional development and project implementation support, and (d) Electricity market development. The Project will support strengthening the resilience of and greening the Uzbekistan power grid through upgrade and expansion of its capacity as well as enabling the grid integration of private sector-led renewable energy sources. Core outcomes also include improved performance and corporate transformation of the transmission company (NEGU) to evolve into a modern and commercially-run company.
