Project features

The Gijduvan 300 MW Wind Power Project is a renewable energy initiative located in the Bukhara region of the Republic of Uzbekistan. This project aims to bolster Uzbekistan's commitment to increasing its renewable energy output, aligning with global environmental sustainability goals. The project involves the development of a 300 MW wind farm integrated with a state-of-the-art infrastructure setup and the establishment of an associated 500 kV Overhead Transmission Line (OTL) to connect the collector sub-station to an existing sub-station. The approximate length of the OHTL is 25 km.
