The Export - Import Bank of China (Exim bank) is a state-owned policy bank with the status of an independent legal entity. Exim Bank plays a crucial role in promoting steady economic growth and structural adjustment, supporting foreign trade, and implementing the “going global” strategy. It is dedicated to supporting China’s foreign trade, investment and international economic cooperation.
UzbekHydroEnergo is a joint-stock company that was created by a Decree of the President of Uzbekistan in 2017 [1]. It will comprise hydroelectric power stations, hydrotechnical and other hydropower related units of UzbekEnergo National Power Company as well as UzSuvEnergo (Uz Water Energy) association under the Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources. UzbekHydroEnero is responsible for implementation of the Program of measures for further development of the hydropower sector for 2017-2021, approved by the Presidential Decree in May 2017. [2]
The Construction of 12.0 MW small HPS at the Tuyabuguz water reservoir is linked to the government resolution approved in Uzbekistan for the hydro-energy development program for 2017 - 2021.[3]
The main objective of the presidential decree is to diversify power generation sources by doubling the existing ~1200 MW generation capacity of the hydropower stations by 2030. The programme includes the construction of dozens of (presidential decree enlists 70 projects) new medium and small hydropower stations and the modernization of the existing large and medium-size hydropower stations. These medium and small hydropower investment projects constituted the largest portion of the ~20 bln USD economic cooperation agreements made during President Shavkat Mirziyoyev’s first official visit to the PRC from 10 to 14 May 2017.
The plant's capacity is 12 megawatts, the height of the reservoir is 30 meters, and the volume is 250 million cubic meters. [4] On average, it will generate 41.2 million kWh of electricity per year, which will satisfy the needs of more than 1,600 households. As a result, electricity will be provided not only to Urtachirchik region, but also to other areas of the Tashkent region, and the main thing is that the station will make it possible to organize uninterrupted supply of electricity to the population and industrial facilities.
The supply and installation of the main work units was performed by the Chinese state-owned company Dongfang Electric International Corporation. It is one of the largest players in the market for creating new energy capacities, which has more than 50 years of experience in the production of equipment for all types of generation. The company brings together about 100 different enterprises, including leading Chinese research, design and commissioning centers. [5]
According to experts, HPP pays off within four years, as the units will produce electricity 11 months a year without a break. The total project cost is $ 15.8 million, of which $ 8.1 million is foreign investment, and $ 7.7 million is Uzbekhydroenergo funds. [6]
