The joint-stock company Uzbekhydroenergo and the South Korean company Kumsung Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd. reached an agreement to develop roadmaps for creating micro-hydroelectric power plants in Uzbekistan. The parties also discussed the possibility of adapting Korean technologies for small and micro-hydroelectric power plants, as well as the prospects for implementing joint projects, according to Uzbekhydroenergo.
Kumsung Engineering & Construction presented to the Uzbekhydroenergo delegation, headed by Chairman of the Board Islom Abdurakhmonov. The presentation covered the company's main areas of activity, its production capacities, technological capabilities, and product range. Proposals for the development of small and micro-hydroelectric power plants were reviewed.
Special attention was paid to how to adapt advanced Korean technologies for the construction of small and micro-hydroelectric power plants considering the conditions in Uzbekistan, as well as the effective use of the energy potential of existing irrigation networks and hydraulic structures.
The participants in the negotiations also studied opportunities for local production of modern hydropower units, technology development, and the implementation of joint practical projects.
Representatives from Gidroproekt JSC, Uzhydropower plant, the National Research University 'TIIAME', and the faculty of Tashkent State Technical University participated in the Uzbek delegation. This allowed for a comprehensive discussion of cooperation prospects from a production, engineering, and scientific and technical perspective.
Following the negotiations, the parties agreed to develop roadmaps aimed at promoting micro-hydropower in Uzbekistan. Furthermore, it was decided to organize an official visit of representatives of Kumsung Engineering & Construction to Uzbekistan next month to continue working on potential projects.
