BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 7. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is facilitating a more reliable and sustainable electricity transmission network in Uzbekistan by providing funds to National Electric Grid of Uzbekistan (NEGU) state power transmission company, Trend reports via the bank.

The sovereign loan of up to $47.1 million will help NEGU to finance the construction of a new transmission line between the settlements of Sarimay and Djankeldy in the Khoresm and Bukhara region.

The new line will link two wind farms, currently under development, with a total installed capacity of up to 1GW, with the national grid.

This network expansion will facilitate the further integration of renewables into Uzbekistan’s grid. It will also help balance the load of existing transmission lines and address the issue of energy supply bottlenecks in the north and south-western parts of the country.

The project will improve the capacity of the electricity system and help reduce grid losses. This is particularly important for Uzbekistan’s growing industrial base and rising population, which require an ever more sustainable power supply.
