Recently, the 500MW photovoltaic project in Jizak, Uzbekistan, which was jointly constructed by China Construction Fifth Engineering Bureau, has successfully achieved full capacity grid connection. With nearly one million photovoltaic panels, the Gobi region of Central Asia will continuously supply clean electricity to the local power grid, injecting green energy into Uzbekistan.
As one of the largest photovoltaic projects in Uzbekistan at present, the Jizak Photovoltaic Project covers a total area of 108.32 million square meters. Once fully operational, it is expected to generate an average of over 1.1 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually during its 25-year operation period. This will save 341,700 tons of standard coal and reduce 936,300 tons of carbon dioxide emissions, significantly alleviating the electricity pressure in the surrounding areas and providing a solid energy support for Uzbekistan's green and low-carbon development.
Facing the challenges of insufficient machinery and manpower due to the extensive construction area and simultaneous advancement of multiple processes, the project team innovated their management model, using scientific planning to solve the construction bottlenecks. They closely followed the arrival schedule of the materials supplied by the client, precisely arranged the construction processes, and collaboratively established a machinery resource database and a local worker resource database to achieve efficient resource allocation and collaborative operations. In response to the extreme climate conditions in the area, characterized by "extreme heat in summer and severe cold in winter", the project implemented the "peak-time construction + flexible operation" model to ensure continuous construction throughout the year and the simultaneous control of quality and progress.
In just 8 months, the project successfully completed a total of 151,800 pile foundation constructions, 976,000 photovoltaic panels installations, precise positioning of 1,741 inverters, and the laying of 3,643 kilometers of low-voltage direct current cables. It truly achieved "construction started in the same year and delivered in the same year", demonstrating the strong construction capabilities of China.
To ensure the long-term stable operation of the power station, the project team adopted various intelligent technologies based on local conditions. Considering the characteristics of heavy sandstorms and abundant snowfall with difficult snow melting in the area, the project was equipped with intelligent cleaning robots and automatic tracking supports, enabling automatic cleaning of photovoltaic modules and self-adaptive adjustment of angles. This effectively improved the power generation efficiency and ensured that the power station could operate stably around the clock under complex climatic conditions, allowing every ray of sunlight to be converted into reliable clean energy.
In addition, the project is equipped with various types of intelligent monitoring sensors, which can monitor key parameters such as the temperature, current, and cleanliness of photovoltaic components in real time. This enables dynamic perception of the equipment's health status and early warning of faults. The maintenance personnel can fully grasp the operation status of over 900,000 photovoltaic panels without leaving their offices, thus weaving an efficient, precise, and all-weather intelligent operation and maintenance protection network.
For a long time, the energy structure of Uzbekistan has been highly dependent on natural gas, and there is an urgent need for the development of renewable energy. The successful grid connection of the Jizak photovoltaic project is not only a vivid practice of the two countries in implementing the green development concept and deepening energy cooperation, but also a landmark achievement of Chinese enterprises helping Central Asian countries achieve energy transformation under the framework of the "Belt and Road Initiative".
During the project construction period, China Construction Fifth Engineering Bureau adhered to local operation. It created over 1,000 job positions for the local area. Through training models such as pairing of Chinese and foreign mentors and practical operation drills, it cultivated a group of technical talents in the field of new energy construction for the local area. This achieved a win-win situation for both the engineering construction and the development of local people's livelihood.
At present, the fifth project has completed the construction of over 2 million square meters of new energy projects in Uzbekistan, with an annual power generation capacity of over 1100 megawatts, benefiting 45,000 households.
