BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 14. Uzbekistan’s Uzmetkombinat is expanding cooperation with Toshiba and Sieyuan Electric’s joint venture, Changzhou Sieyuan Toshiba Transformer Co., Ltd., as part of efforts to modernize its energy infrastructure and improve the reliability of power supply.
This was reflected in the statement by Uzmetkombinat following the delegation's business trip to China, during which it reviewed the production, assembly, and testing processes of high-voltage power transformers and examined the advanced technologies employed by the country.
According to Uzmetkombinat, the talks focused on modernizing the company’s transformer facilities, improving the reliability and efficiency of existing equipment, and introducing Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
BESS technologies allow companies to better manage peak electricity demand, strengthen power supply stability, and improve the efficient use of energy resources.
“During the meeting, the parties agreed to develop joint technical and economic solutions for transformer modernization and the implementation of BESS systems, as well as continue cooperation,” Uzmetkombinat said.
The cooperation comes as Uzbekistan’s major industrial enterprises seek to improve energy efficiency and strengthen infrastructure reliability amid growing electricity demand.
The introduction of modern transformer equipment and energy storage systems could help Uzmetkombinat optimize electricity consumption, reduce operational risks, and support the stable operation of its production facilities.
Changzhou Sieyuan Toshiba Transformer Co., Ltd., a joint venture between Toshiba and Sieyuan Electric, specializes in the production of high-voltage transformers and related energy solutions.
The visit marked another step in Uzmetkombinat’s broader modernization strategy, which includes attracting advanced technologies, improving industrial efficiency, and developing a more resilient energy system to support future production expansion.
