Uzbekistan launches new international tender for 3 hydropower plants

                                         https://www.boland-hydroturbine.com/


Uzbekistan’s state hydropower producer and developer, Uzbekhydroenergo, announced on June 4 a tender for the design and construction of the Rabat, Chappasuy and Tamshush Hydropower Plants on the Aksu River in the Kashkadarya Region of Uzbekistan.
“We are pleased to announce a tender for the design and construction of three new hydropower plants on the Aksu River,” a spokesperson from Uzbekistan’s Energy Ministry said. “These new plants will make a significant contribution to our goal of increasing our power generation capacity. They will also reduce our carbon emissions and grow our clean energy sources. We would also like to thank the Asian Development Bank for its support on this project,” the spokesperson added.
The construction of the three hydropower plants is part of Uzbekistan’s Sustainable Hydropower Project, which is part-financed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Uzbekistan’s Energy Ministry said in a press release.
The wider context to the tender is Uzbekistan’s ambitious national energy strategy which aims to meet increasing demands for energy and to generate a quarter of all electricity from renewable sources by 2030. The strategy will see the deployment up to 30 GW of additional power capacity by 2030, including 3.8 GW of hydro energy along with 5 GW or solar energy and up to 3 GW of wind energy. This is also a part of Uzbekistan’s growing role in the regional and international energy markets.
In October 2019, it was announced the ADB had approved $60 million in financing for the construction of hydropower plants, with a total generation capacity of 25MW, in Uzbekistan, the energy ministry said, adding that he total cost of the project is $75.3 million dollars and completion is expected by the end of 2023.
The three hydropower plants will have a total capacity of 24 MW (6 MW Rabat, 8 MW Chappasuy and 10 MW Tamshush) with an associated transmission line (35-110 kV and 22 km in length) and mini-hydro units with aggregate capacity of 1 MW.
According to the energy ministry, international competitive bidding for the project will be conducted in accordance with the ADB’s ‘One-Stage, Two-Envelope’ protocol. The tender is open to all bidders from ADB eligible countries.

How we can save hydropower

                                        marketing@boland-hydroturbine.com Hydropower is the world’s third largest source of electricity and provides around 70% of the world’s renewable energy. However, dams – the traditional way we’ve harvested energy from water – are not as sustainable as you might think, disrupting the ecosystems within and around rivers, reducing biodiversity, and messing with water quality. Now, researchers are trying to find a way to make hydropower more environmentally friendly. “It’s only recently that people have started to realize that these dams fill up with sediment, that they are structurally unsound, some of them, and that something needs to be done with them,” says Carlos Garcia de Leaniz of Swansea University in Wales. But the world needs energy, and compared to other forms of renewable energy, hydropower is both flexib...

Bill Gates-led Fund Invests in Startup That Built a New Hydropower Turbine

                                           https://www.boland-hydroturbine.com/ Hydropower—converting moving water into energy—is the single biggest source of clean power in the world, but relies on a 200-year-old technology that hasn't changed all that much. Natel Energy Inc., a California-based hydro power startup, has developed a new turbine that updates that technology, and now the company is raising $11 million in a funding round led by Schneider Electric Ventures and Breakthrough Energy Ventures, a fund helmed by Bill Gates. The turbine lowers the construction cost of power plants, because it requires less cement and steel. It also allows for safer passage for fish, which has become a stringent environmental regulation for these types of projects in both the U.S. and Europe. Natel Energy was started by two engineers and siblings, Gia a...

Something You May Want To Know About Hydropower Dams Published on November 13, 2019

                                    https://www.boland-hydroturbine.com   A  hydroelectric dam  is one of the major components of a hydroelectric facility. A dam is a large, man-made structure built to contain some body of water. In addition to construction for the purpose of producing hydroelectric power, dams are created to control river flow and regulate flooding In some rivers, small scale dams known as weirs are built to control and measure water flow. Dams fall into the category of retaining structures, or structures that are built to create large standing bodies of water known as reserviors These reservoirs can be used for irrigation, electrical generation, or water supply. These structures are built on top of riverbeds and hold back water, raising the water level. Dikes can be built along with the dam to increase the dams effectiv...
