🌬️ Wind Power Project in Fergana Valley, Uzbekistan

Introduction

Uzbekistan is rapidly transforming its energy sector, aiming to diversify away from fossil fuels and increase its share of renewable energy. The Fergana Valley, one of Central Asia’s most densely populated and economically active regions, presents a prime opportunity for wind energy development. With a proposed installed capacity of up to 1500 MW, this project supports Uzbekistan’s goal of sourcing 25% of electricity from renewables by 2030.

📈 Market Trends

• Renewable Expansion: Uzbekistan has welcomed private investment in the RE sector since 2019.
• Government Incentives: 10-year tax and land benefits for renewable projects over 10 MW.
• Growing Demand: Industrial and population growth in Fergana Valley boosts electricity demand.
• International Support: ADB, EBRD, and AIIB are backing energy transition programs and RE infrastructure.

🌍 Opportunities

• Favorable wind conditions in pre-identified zones.
• Low land use competition in semi-arid areas.
• Ongoing grid enhancements and renewable energy absorption programs.
• Cross-border export potential through regional grid connections.

⚠️ Challenges

Area	Issue
Wind Resource Variability	Interannual wind speed fluctuations; limited long-term data.
Grid Access	Capacity constraints; delays in connection approval from Uzenergo.
Permitting	Lengthy approval timelines and complex ESIA processes.
Land Use	Potential conflicts with agriculture or community land claims.
Financing	Currency mismatch (USD tariff vs UZS costs); FX volatility risks.

✅ Solutions & Mitigation

• Deploy ISO/MEASNET-compliant wind masts; 12-month monitoring with long-term correlation.
• Early coordination with Uzenergo for grid integration and transmission planning.
• Leverage public-private frameworks to expedite permitting and approvals.
• Engage local communities early to reduce land-related disputes and enhance buy-in.
• Use blended finance tools and indexation clauses to manage FX and revenue risk.
