Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) - Andijan region, with its water resources, occupies one of the leading places in terms of hydropower potential. On 22 July 2020, the modernization process at HPP-2 of the South Ferghana Channel was completed and an event was held dedicated to the launch of this HPP, located in Bulakbashi district of Andijan region.
The South Ferghana Channel is one of the main canals in our country. In order to effectively use the capabilities of this canal, since the 50s of the last century, a number of hydraulic structures have been built around it.
At present, Andijan HPP-1, Andijan HPP-2, 4 HPPs, which are part of the Shakhrikhan HPP Cascade, are operating in the region.
Last year, HPP-1 (HPP-1 SFC) from the South Ferghana canal was modernized and continues to operate at new capacities.
This year, HPP-1 (HPP-2 SFC) from the South Ferghana Canal was modernized.
It should be noted that a number of large projects have been implemented in the field of hydropower over the past three years. More than 30 projects were aimed at building new HPPs and modernizing existing ones.
In particular, the micro-Tuyabuguz hydroelectric power station in the Tashkent region, a cascade of micro hydroelectric power stations on the Big Ferghana Canal, the Zaamin micro-hydroelectric power station in the Jizzakh region, and 5 new micro-hydroelectric power stations in the Samarkand region were built and put into operation.
HPP-2 SFC, which is a part of the unitary enterprise "Cascade of Shakhrikhan HPPs", is located in Bulakbashi district of Andijan region.
In 1962, construction began on the SFC HPP-2, which was commissioned in 1966.
One hydroelectric generator of the Russian plant "Uralelectroapparat" is installed vertically at the HPP. The power plant's capacity is 6.7 MW.
Within the framework of the resolution of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. 2947 from 2 May 2017 and a number of instructions from the government at HPP-2 SFC, work has been consistently carried out on modernization. To carry out the modernization work, an agreement was signed with the General Contractor - Power Construction Corporation of China Ltd (PRC), and technological work was jointly carried out.
It should be noted that after the modernization of HPP-2, SFC operates on an automatic (smart) control system. Its capacity is 7.05 MW.
Uzbekgidroenergo continues its work on the efficient use of water resources, and providing the population with uninterrupted renewable, environmentally friendly and affordable electricity.
