Mercados – Aries International is carrying out a study for Asian Development Bank. The objectives of the proposed power transmission project are the following:

• improve energy security of Uzbekistan
• enhance reliability and stability of the power system
• provide flexibility among load centers to access an energy efficient power source
• increase operational efficiency of the power system
• reduce transmission losses

The Project strengthens energy security through improved power system reliability and efficiency by constructing a new domestic transmission line without passing through any other country. The new line will evacuate power from Takhiatash Thermal Power Plant (TPP). The Project will also increase power supply reliability for the Karakalpakstan and Khorezm regions in the northwestern part of Uzbekistan where major investments are scheduled, benefiting at least three million people.
