Uzbekistan has signed six energy agreements worth $4.7bn (€4.19bn) and announced plans for two more nuclear power plants, as President Shavkat Mirziyoyev seeks to attract foreign investment and meet rising demand from industry and data centres.
The agreements, signed during talks in Tashkent on Friday, cover 3,000 megawatts (MW) of new generating capacity and 400 MW of energy storage, according to the presidency.
