JA Solar Signs Module Supply Agreement with L&T for Samarkand Solar Projects in Uzbekistan

JA Solar has signed a solar module supply agreement with Larsen & Toubro (L&T), the EPC contractor for the Samarkand 1 and 2 Solar PV Power Plants in Uzbekistan. As per the contract, JA Solar will supply all photovoltaic modules for these two utility-scale projects.

Located near Samarkand, the Samarkand 1 & 2 projects, being developed by ACWA Power, will have a combined capacity of 1.2 GW. These solar power plants are expected to generate enough electricity to power hundreds of thousands of homes and reduce carbon emissions by over one million tons annually. 

Notably, Uzbekistan’s national renewable energy target is to source 25 percent of electricity from renewables by 2030.

“We are honoured to support these strategic projects alongside world-class partners,” said Aiqing Yang, Executive President of JA Solar. 

“Our high-efficiency, high-reliability modules are engineered to maximise energy yield in diverse environments. This agreement underscores the confidence our partners place in JA Solar’s technology and execution capabilities,” he added.
