🚀 Uzbekistan is powering up! On Monday, the country broke ground on a landmark mega battery project that's set to electrify its energy future. Backed by China Energy Construction Group, the Uzbekistan Angren District Rochi Energy Storage Project is not just any power station—it's China's largest overseas single-unit electrochemical energy storage investment! 🔋
Spanning over 6 hectares (that's like 11 soccer fields! ⚽), this first-of-its-kind facility in Uzbekistan is a major leap forward for the nation's energy infrastructure. The project will harness lithium iron phosphate batteries to deliver a whopping 150-megawatt power configuration and a 300-megawatt-hour battery energy storage system. Talk about mega power! 💪
Once the switch is flipped in December 2024, the station will pump an estimated 2.19 billion kilowatt-hours of regulation capacity into the grid. That's enough juice to supercharge Uzbekistan's power grid, fueling economic growth and social development. 🌱⚡
Get ready, Uzbekistan—the future is bright, and it's shining with renewable energy! ✨
