The project involved the design, construction, maintenance, and operation of a 500 MW grid connected wind power project.
Construction of 162.5-kilometer overhead transmission line in a remote area of Bukhara region in Uzbekistan.
Services Provided:
Provision of technical assistance using the BB2 assessment criteria of Joint MDB Methodological Framework for the Assessment of Paris Alignment and ADB’s Climate Risk Assessment Framework.
Formulation of a comprehensive Climate Risk Assessment report following the IPCC risk assessment framework and ADB’s Climate Risk Assessment Framework. It established climate-related vulnerability and risks, identified exposure to physical climate risks, and provided climate resilient measures to improve climate risk management by all stakeholders. The report consists of the following sections: a. Detailed historical analysis of pervasive hazards at the project site/area along with assessing projections of the selected hazards using online tools. b. The exposure and vulnerability assessment of each of the project components to all prevalent hazards. c. A Risk Matrix that classified the risk to each component by each hazard as extreme/moderate/low based on the vulnerability and exposure assessment. d. A comprehensive list of adaptation measures tailored for each hazard faced by each component along with a timeline for adopting these measures.
ADB Private Sector Operations Project
Nukus II Wind and Battery Energy Storage Project
Country: Uzbekistan Sector: Renewable Energy Infrastructure
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) aimed to assist in the development of the Nukus II Wind and Battery Energy Storage Project near Nukus, Republic of Karakalpakstan, Uzbekistan. The project comprised a 200 MW wind power plant, a 100 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), and evacuation infrastructure (EI). The EI consisted of a 42-44 km long overhead transmission line and the expansion of a 220 KV switchyard and Beruniy substation.
