Uzbekistan, together with Rosatom, will implement a project to build an “integrated” nuclear power plant with two large and two small reactors, deputy prime minister Jamshid Khodjayev said. 1 GW plant is expected to be able to generate more than 15 billion kWh of electricity. Uzbekistan Nuclear Power Plant is a small modular type (SMR) nuclear plant being constructed in Jizzakh province of Uzbekistan. The agreement for this project was signed on 27 May 2024, during the visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin to Uzbekistan. More than 20,000 people from 100+ countries attended the four-day gathering in Russia. Concrete is being poured at a site in Jizzakh region which will host Uzbekistan's first nuclear power plant.
