The Bukhara wind power project in Uzbekistan reached a significant milestone as the final turbine foundation was poured at the Dzhankeldy Wind Farm on July 31, local time.

The foundation pouring of all 158 wind turbine generators (WTGs) was completed 75 days ahead of schedule.

Alper, CEO of ACWA Power, the project company, and Bogdan, project manager, were present at the pouring completion ceremony.

The Dzhankeldy Wind Farm is situated in a rugged mountainous region, where the majority of wind turbine foundations rest on solid bedrock. This necessitates a construction process that combines controlled blasting and mechanical excavation to excavate the foundations.

Moreover, some turbines are positioned on steep ridges, adding to the complexity of the construction process, often requiring multiple rounds of blasting.

In the face of these challenges, the construction team has employed a science-based approach, adopting various techniques to overcome each construction obstacle.

Since the first wind turbine was poured on May 23, 2023, the project department has been actively addressing challenges such as a shortage of on-site talent, materials, and equipment resources.

They have been flexibly allocating resources, planning work progress, and ensuring efficient resource allocation and utilization.

Currently, the Bukhara wind power project department is making steady progress in installing and commissioning wind turbines, and constructing substations and transmission lines. They are working tirelessly to complete annual tasks with high quality and efficiency, aiming for outstanding project performance.

The Bukhara wind power project in Uzbekistan is the largest wind power project currently being built in Central Asia and CEEC's first large-scale new energy project in the region.

With an installed capacity of 1GW, it will bring significant benefits to millions of local residents and reduce carbon emissions by 1.6 million tons annually.

This project will greatly improve the local power supply capacity and power structure while creating nearly 500 job opportunities for the local community, injecting new development momentum into Bukhara, a city with a rich history spanning 2,500 years.
