Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan agreements for the development of renewable energy and green hydrogen projects
In a significant development shaping the hydrogen market, Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan have agreed to implement a renewable energy project with a capacity of 800 megawatts. The agreement, signed by ACWA Power (a Saudi company), the Uzbek Ministry of Energy, Uzbek Ministry of Investment, Industry and Trade, and Uzbek Yukmeosanoat Company, was witnessed by Minister of Energy Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman and Deputy Prime Minister of Uzbekistan Jamshid Kochkarov in Riyadh on Thursday.
The project is expected to further strengthen cooperation between the two countries in the energy sector. While specific details of the project have yet to be fully disclosed, it is understood that the project will integrate green hydrogen technology, aligning with the countries' commitments to sustainable development and regional energy security.
The agreement marks a significant step in the ongoing collaboration between Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan in the renewable energy sector. Both countries are actively involved in broader energy integration initiatives, as part of regional alliances focusing on renewable energy and green hydrogen. This cooperation aligns with commitments made at COP29 to enhance regional energy security and sustainable development.
Uzbekistan, with its significant renewable energy potential, is part of the Central Asia Green Energy Corridor, a multi-country initiative aiming to coordinate renewable electricity exports to Europe and potentially promote green hydrogen production and trade. Saudi Arabia, too, is advancing large renewable energy projects, reflecting its broader regional engagements in clean energy.
However, no publicly available, detailed project announcement of an 800 MW renewable energy and green hydrogen project solely between these two countries has been found in the search results as of mid-2025. The collaboration appears as part of broader multi-country initiatives to develop and export renewable energy and green hydrogen in Central Asia and the Gulf region.
