As part of Uzbekistan Energy Week at Expo 2020 Dubai, a delegation of the Ministry of Energy visited the Noor Energy-1 solar power plant of ACWA Power (Saudi Arabia).

According to the Ministry of Energy, the total capacity of this solar power plant in Dubai is 950 MW, that is, it is one of the largest solar power plants in the world.

During the visit to Noor Energy-1, the delegation members got acquainted with the experience of generating electricity from solar panels, as well as the effective use of other types of electricity generation based on solar technologies.

As noted by the Department Head of the Ministry of Energy Abdullajon Otaboyev, an analysis of the long-term energy storage technology used at Noor Energy-1 using dissolved salt (which allows continuing power supply at night) will allow the gradual introduction of such experience in Uzbekistan.
