Solar Power Plant Project in the Samarkand Region, Uzbekistan 2
General Project Information:
The solar power plant in the Samarkand Region is a 220 MW photovoltaic (PV) power plant. The plant covers an area of approximately 438 hectares and is located approximately 50 km northwest of the city of Samarkand.
Power generated by the plant is transmitted to the national grid through a 4.5 km, 220 kV overhead transmission line connecting the power plant to the Ishtikhan Substation.
Location:
Samarkand Region, Uzbekistan
Scope of Work:
As part of the project, supply, construction, installation, testing, and commissioning works were carried out for the 4.5 km, 220 kV overhead transmission line, providing the connection of the solar power plant to the power grid.
Under a separate contract, specialized works were also carried out for the installation of bird protection devices and aviation warning spheres on the 220 kV overhead transmission line.
