Sungrow, the globally renowned energy storage system (ESS) provider, and China Energy Engineering Corporation (CEEC) have completed the installation of the Lochin ESS system, located in the Andijan region of Uzbekistan. This innovative project, with a capacity of 150 MW/300 MWh, is the first of its kind in Uzbekistan and is already positioned as the largest in all of Central Asia.
Key contribution to energy transition in Uzbekistan
The launch of the Lochin project is in line with Uzbekistan’s ambitious energy goals. In 2024, the country raised its renewable energy target, seeking to achieve 40% clean energy in its electricity mix by 2030. This step forward seeks to strengthen the local electricity grid, reduce the intermittency of renewable energy and increase security of supply.
Sungrow’s PowerTitan 2.0 system, integrated into the project, includes advanced grid-forming technology, ensuring stable operation through services such as voltage regulation, frequency response and oscillation damping. This is critical to strengthening Uzbekistan’s energy infrastructure, which faces technical challenges in its power grid.
The PowerTitan 2.0 changes energy efficiency and security
Sungrow’s PowerTitan 2.0 features a scalable design and plug-and-play integration for fast installation. Additionally, its innovative liquid cooling system and iSolarBPS software offer real-time monitoring and pre-diagnostic capabilities, maximizing operational safety and efficiency.
The Chinese company has also set new safety standards with the PowerTitan 2.0, including a large-scale combustion test conducted in 2023, demonstrating its commitment to sustainability and technological innovation .
ESS system will be key for Central Asia
The success of the Lochin system reflects Central Asia’s potential to become a key player in the global energy transition . Sungrow has consolidated its leadership in the region, providing cutting-edge technologies and comprehensive energy solutions. The company previously supplied one of the largest solar plants in Kazakhstan, and its involvement in this project underlines its commitment to sustainable development.
This project sets a precedent for future energy storage initiatives in Central Asia , demonstrating that strategic collaboration and innovation can transform energy networks and foster a more sustainable future.
