UzAssystem has been awarded a new contract to support the site characterisation studies that will enable the development of new wind farms in Uzbekistan’s Bukhara and Kungrad regions.
Uzbekistan is setting its sights on becoming a renewable leader
Uzbekistan is undergoing a rapid transformation. By 2025, experts predict that the country’s energy production will have risen by around 40%, before doubling again by 2030.
To meet this demand, Uzbekistan’s Ministry of Energy is investing heavily in renewable energy sources across the country. By 2030, around 40% of Uzbekistan’s energy production is expected to come from renewables.
Our role in enabling renewable energy projects
ACWA Power selected UzAssystem to deliver site characterisation work for the pre-development work to enable the construction of new wind farms in Uzbekistan’s Bukhara and Kungrad regions. Combined, the wind farms will cover a total area of more than 300km2.
Our teams will provide crucial pre-development work to ensure the suitability of the sites to enable construction to begin. Our expertise will cover geotechnical, geophysical, topographical, and hydrological studies of the proposed sites, examining the physical, mechanical, and chemical characteristics of the terrain using ground-based surveys and tests combined with satellite and digital mapping of the project site.
UzAssystem: a trusted partner in the delivery of energy transition programmes.

Since the Assystem group arrived in Uzbekistan in 2019, it has developed a team consisting of home-grown engineering expertise combined with the support of an international network of expertise spread across 12 countries of operation.
Feza Abadanc, Operations Manager, UzAssystem said: “UzAssystem was formed in 2019 when the Assystem Group formed a joint venture with Uzbekistan’s Ministry of Energy. Since then, our teams have grown and proven the value of their expertise in engineering, digital, and project management at the service of Uzbekistan’s energy transition. This latest project reinforces our commitment to helping Uzbekistan to become a leading producer of renewable energy by 2030.”
