The projects, part of a plan to roll-out as much as 900 MW of solar generation capacity using public-private partnerships, will be awarded 25-year power purchase agreements.
The IFC, a transaction adviser in the program, helped the Uzbek government design and tender its first public-private partnership, which attracted 11 pre-qualified developers and five bids.
The Ministry of Energy has also issued a request for expressions of interest for a 200 MW solar park in Sherabad, in Surkhandarya province this month. That tender is being carried out with the support of the Asian Development Bank as transaction advisor. The Sherabad project is part of a 1 GW solar program devised by the government and the development lender.
