JA Solar Secures 1.2GW Solar Module Supply Agreement for Major PV Projects in Uzbekistan
Beijing, China – JA Solar, a global leader in high-performance photovoltaic (PV) products, has signed a strategic agreement with international EPC contractor Larsen & Toubro (L&T) to supply 1.2GW of solar modules for the Samarkand 1 and Samarkand 2 solar power projects in Uzbekistan.
This landmark cooperation further strengthens JA Solar's presence in the rapidly growing Central Asia solar market and highlights the company's role as a trusted supplier for large-scale solar EPC projects worldwide.
Supporting Uzbekistan's Renewable Energy Goals
The Samarkand 1 and 2 solar projects are being developed by ACWA Power, one of the world's leading energy and water infrastructure companies. With a combined installed capacity of 1.2GWp, the projects represent a key milestone in Uzbekistan's clean energy development strategy.
Once operational, the projects are expected to:
Generate clean electricity for approximately 600,000 households
Reduce CO₂ emissions by around 1.4 million tons per year
Enhance national energy security and grid stability
Contribute to Uzbekistan's target of achieving 25% renewable energy generation by 2030
These large-scale solar power plants will play a vital role in accelerating Uzbekistan's transition toward sustainable and low-carbon energy.
Strong Collaboration Between Global Energy Leaders
The success of the Samarkand solar projects is driven by the collaboration of three industry leaders:
ACWA Power – Project developer and investor
Larsen & Toubro (L&T) – EPC contractor responsible for engineering, procurement, and construction
JA Solar – Supplier of high-efficiency solar PV modules
Under the agreement, JA Solar will deliver advanced and reliable PV modules designed to maximize energy yield in diverse environmental conditions.
