On March 25, local time, China Energy Construction Gezhouba Overseas Investment Company invested in the EPC general contract of Zhongnan Institute of Engineering, the largest single electrochemical energy storage project invested by China overseas in Uzbekistan, and started construction of the Luqi 150MW/300MWh energy storage project in Andiyan Prefecture.

The project is the largest single-scale electrochemical energy storage project invested by China overseas. It is the first foreign-invested grid-side electrochemical energy storage project started in Uzbekistan. It is the first overseas energy storage investment project of China Energy Construction.

The project is located in Andijan Prefecture, about 10 kilometers away from Asaka City. The site area is about 6 hectares and the planned total investment is US$140 million. The project uses electrochemical energy storage lithium iron phosphate cells and is equipped with a 150MW/300MWh energy storage system. It is connected to the 220 kV substation through a new 220kV booster station and a 220kV double circuit transmission and transformation line with a length of about 6.1 kilometers. 220kV side.

The project is planned to be put into commercial operation in December 2024 and can create more than 300 jobs during the construction period.
