On November 12, 2026, a project to supply Navoiazot JSC with electricity from renewable sources was implemented in Navoi Region. The project was carried out by the Chinese company Sinoma using direct foreign investments. The total cost of the project amounted to 220 million US dollars.

The facility includes a 300 MW solar photovoltaic power plant and a 75 MW energy storage system with a capacity of 75 MWh. The plant is directly connected to the enterprise, so the generated green electricity is supplied for its needs.

The facility is capable of producing 657 million kWh of electricity annually. This will allow Navoiazot to save approximately 175 million cubic meters of natural gas per year and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 377,800 tons.

Minister of Energy Sherzod Khodjaev visited the plant and storage system, familiarizing himself with their operation and capabilities. The project also aims to expand the use of renewable energy sources in industry, diversify energy supply for large enterprises, create jobs for the local population, and boost economic activity in the region.
