A China-supported wind power project with a total installed capacity of 20 megawatts has been completed in Bostanlyk District of Uzbekistan’s Tashkent region.

Speaking at the completion ceremony on Thursday, Chinese Ambassador to Uzbekistan Yu Jun said the project would strengthen the local supply of clean energy, improve the country’s energy mix and support Uzbekistan’s broader green transition.

Yu said the project is closely aligned with Uzbekistan’s strategic goal of pursuing low-carbon development and represents a concrete achievement of bilateral cooperation in green energy. He added that the project could serve as a foundation for further cooperation between the two countries in renewable energy, energy storage systems and power grid infrastructure.

Bostanlyk District Governor Axmedov Jo’rabek praised the Chinese construction team for overcoming technical and geographical challenges and completing the project smoothly. He said the facility would provide a stable and long-term source of clean energy while supporting local economic growth and sustainable development.

The project consists of four wind turbines, each with a capacity of 5 megawatts, bringing the total installed capacity to 20 megawatts. Construction was completed within 12 months.

Once fully operational, the project is expected to generate enough electricity to serve tens of thousands of local households. It is also projected to save around 12 million cubic meters of natural gas annually and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 24,000 tons each year.

The development is expected to help Uzbekistan reduce its reliance on natural gas for electricity generation while increasing the share of wind and other renewable energy sources in the national energy mix.

Uzbekistan has in recent years made the expansion of solar and wind power an important part of its national energy strategy. China, meanwhile, has continued to expand investment and technical cooperation in renewable energy, power infrastructure and green technologies across Central Asia.

The Bostanlyk wind power project reflects the continuing expansion of China-Uzbekistan economic cooperation beyond traditional trade and infrastructure into green energy and low-carbon development.
