Construction of waste incineration plants has begun in Uzbekistan.

In Samarkand, work has begun on the construction of a 15-hectare site in the "Navruz" mahalla of the "Khushrav" massif, as well as on a 17-hectare site in the "Khidirsha" mahalla of the Khojaabad district of the Andijan region, where plants for the production of electricity from solid household waste have been built.

It should be noted that on March 24 of this year, the President of Uzbekistan signed Resolutions No. 116 and No. 118 aimed at implementing investment projects for the production of electricity by burning solid household waste. According to the documents, it is planned to improve the environmental situation in the regions, introduce modern solutions and technologies in the field of waste processing, and attract direct investments.

Earlier, it was reported that the head of state personally familiarized himself with these projects, and eight plants are planned to be built in the country to produce electricity and products from household waste.

Within the framework of the project in the Samarkand region, the Chinese company "Shanghai SUS Environment" will invest 150 million US dollars. The plant will process 1,500 tons of waste per day and produce 240 million kWh of electricity per year. At the same time, 150-200 new jobs will be created.

In the Andijan region, the project is being implemented by "China International Camce" with an investment of $140 million. Production capacities are similar: 1.5 thousand tons of waste per day, 240 million kWh of electricity per year, and 150 new jobs. The commissioning of the facilities is planned for 2025-2027.

In accordance with the agreements on the sale of electricity and the supply of solid household waste, the generated electricity will be guaranteed to be purchased by "Uzenergosbyt" JSC for 30 years.

These initiatives align with the principles of a "green economy" and contribute to ensuring Uzbekistan's environmental sustainability and creating a clean and healthy environment for future generations.
