At the conference in Tashkent, the handshake between energy representatives from China and Ukraine brought new momentum to this ancient land. With the official signing of a memorandum of cooperation between CHNG and Uzbekistan State Hydroelectric Corporation, the two sides have not only established a long-term strategic partnership, but also marked China's renewable energy layout in Central Asia, officially extending from the wind and solar field to the key hydropower sector.

Anchoring the Presidential Decree Target

This signing was jointly completed by Azimqiong Akhmajanov, the First Vice Chairman of the Management Committee of Uzbekistan Hydroelectric Corporation, and senior management of China Huaneng. The agreement strictly benchmarks the hydropower special development law issued by Ukraine on May 1, 2026, with the aim of fully promoting the implementation of key hydropower projects within the country. Both parties will introduce international cutting-edge engineering solutions and innovative technologies, focusing on capacity expansion and sustainable development, and empowering the local hydropower industry with professional skills to improve quality and efficiency.

Cracking the energy bottleneck

Hydroelectric power is the core local renewable energy source in Uzbekistan and the key to reducing its dependence on fossil energy imports. Faced with the current situation of aging equipment in domestic hydropower stations and low efficiency in the implementation of large-scale projects, the Ukrainian side urgently needs external forces to inject. This cooperation coincides with the policy window period of hydropower transformation in Ukraine. By introducing the technology and management experience of foreign-funded enterprises, it will effectively accelerate its energy independence process and build a solid foundation for national energy security.keywords:Domestic new energy latest news

Complete the cooperation map

As a leading energy state-owned enterprise in China, CHNG has entered the Ukrainian market with its full chain advantage and expanded its overseas hydropower increment through compliant investment. With the help of CHNG's technology and engineering strength, the Ukrainian side will make up for local shortcomings and efficiently implement national level projects. This move not only fills the gap in cooperation between China and Ukraine in the field of hydropower, but also forms a synergy with existing wind and solar power, further consolidating the bilateral energy strategic relationship and allowing both sides to share the development dividends of clean energy in Central Asia.Editor/Yang Meiling
