Masdar, Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company, has signed a Battery Storage Service Agreement with JSC Uzenergosotish, Uzbekistan’s state-owned joint-stock company, to develop the nation’s largest standalone battery energy storage (BESS) project.
Masdar has partnered with Emirates Utilities Development Company (EUDC) and Uzbekistan’s Ministry of Energy to develop a gigascale 24/7 clean energy project. The initiative aims to provide up to 1 GW of baseload power, with state-owned JSC Uzenergosotish as the offtaker.
Masdar, a clean energy leader, has reached financial close on a package worth more than $225 million for the Guzar 300-megawatt (MW) solar power plant and 75-megawatt-hour (MWh) battery energy storage system (BESS) in Kashkadarya, Uzbekistan.
