JA Solar Signs 1.2-GW Module Supply Deal for Samarkand Solar Projects in Uzbekistan
JA Solar has signed an agreement to supply 1.2 GW of high-efficiency solar modules for the Samarkand-1 and Samarkand-2 photovoltaic projects in Uzbekistan, marking one of the country’s largest solar supply contracts to date. The projects are expected to play a key role in expanding Uzbekistan’s utility-scale renewable energy capacity and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. The deal underscores strong international investment and supplier confidence in Central Asia’s fast-growing solar market. For developers and offtakers, the projects will deliver reliable, low-cost clean electricity and support long-term energy security. JA Solar’s involvement highlights its continued focus on large-scale global deployments, advanced module technology, and contribution to decarbonisation efforts across emerging renewable energy markets.
CWP Europe Powers Up 174-MWdc Studina Solar Project
CWP Europe has successfully powered up the 174-MWdc Studina solar photovoltaic project, marking a major milestone in expanding utility-scale solar capacity in the region. The project adds significant clean generation capacity and supports national goals to increase renewable energy penetration and reduce carbon emissions. Studina Solar represents a substantial investment in large-scale solar infrastructure, delivering low-cost, low-carbon electricity to the grid. For consumers and utilities, the project improves energy security, price stability, and grid diversification, while reducing reliance on fossil fuels. The commissioning highlights strong momentum in European solar development, driven by supportive policy frameworks and rising power demand. The project aligns with CWP Europe’s strategy to scale its renewable energy portfolio and contribute to the region’s energy transition and net-zero ambitions.
Nexra Wins Taiwan Offshore Wind O&M Campaign
Nexra has secured a major offshore wind operations and maintenance (O&M) campaign in Taiwan, strengthening its footprint in one of Asia’s most active offshore wind markets. The contract covers long-term inspection, maintenance, and support services aimed at maximising turbine availability and operational performance. The win reflects strong demand for specialist O&M expertise as Taiwan’s offshore wind fleet expands and projects move into operational phases. For asset owners, high-quality O&M services help improve reliability, safety, and lifecycle value, while reducing downtime and costs. The award also underscores Taiwan’s continued investment momentum in offshore wind, driven by government targets and robust project pipelines. For Nexra, the campaign aligns with its strategy to grow in key global offshore wind hubs and support the region’s energy transition.
