Goldwind has secured a new deal with Masdar, Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company to

Uzbekistan. The project delivery is scheduled to be started in the third

quarter of 2022 and completed by the end of 2024. Once built and in operation,

it will significantly improve the local power mix, powering 500,000 Uzbekistan

households and displacing 1.1 million tons of carbon dioxide per year. The

project will help Uzbekistan achieve the goal of increasing the proportion of

green electricity to 25% by 2030.

"Uzbekistan is a pivotal country and geographic center in Central Asia with

abundant wind resources. In recent years, the comprehensive strategic

partnership between China and Uzbekistan has continued to move forward,

bringing various opportunities for two countries to achieve green and

low-carbon development. The Zarafshan 500MW wind project is a milestone project

for Goldwind to promote China's foreignization of wind power, which will make

positive contributions to Uzbekistan's energy transition and create a new model

of China-Uzbekistan green 'Belt and Road' cooperation. We are delighted to work

with our partners to deliver a successful project for the Uzbekistan market and

bring more affordable, reliable and sustainable green energy to the Central

Asian market," said Sun Lianhua, General Manager of Goldwind's Central Asia

Russian-Speaking Region.

Since "2020-2030 Energy and Power Strategic Plan" in 2020 in Uzbekistan, the

development of the country's clean energy industry has continued to accelerate,

and it has gradually become a hot spot for clean energy investment in Central

Asia. Goldwind entered the market through the first 750kW wind power project in

Uzbekistan in 2012. Under the guidance of the "Belt and Road" initiative,

Goldwind has given full play to its product and technological advantages,

turning itself a major player in the local market. With the global footprints
