ACWA Bash and Dzhankeldy Wind Farms - Power Evacuation & Grid Compliance Studies, EIF Design
ACWA Power signed an investment agreement with the MoE to design, finance, build and operate two Wind Farms in Bukhara region, Uzbekistan – Bash WPP and Dzhankeldy WPP with a total installed capacity of 850-1000 MW. Project will be implemented according to the Presidential decrees #PP-5001 and #PP-5003 from February 23, 2021. The proposed project site of Bash WPP is located approximately 30 km west of Kokcha. The area of the land plot being considered for the WPP development spans approximately 19 km from north to south and 11km from east to west. The proposed project site of Dzhankeldy WPP is located approximately 7 km west of Ayakguzhumdy.
Within the framework of Bash and Dzhankeldy Wind Farms, Juru is hired by ACWA to conduct Power Evacuation & Grid Compliance Studies along with Electrical Interconnection Facility (EIF) Design and provide support in obtaining necessary permissions from national TSO to interconnect wind farm to the grid (Technical conditions for interconnection).
