JA Solar Secures Major Supply Contract for Photovoltaic Modules in Uzbekistan

On February 9, 2026, JA Solar Technology Co., Ltd., a renowned global player in the green energy sector, announced its strategic partnership with Larsen & Toubro (L&T) to supply photovoltaic modules for the Samarkand 1 and Samarkand 2 solar power projects in Uzbekistan. With a combined capacity of 1.2 GW, these two solar projects will not only contribute significantly to Uzbekistan's growing energy demands but also align with its renewable energy objectives.

Details of the Agreement

Under the terms of this agreement, JA Solar will deliver all photovoltaic modules required for the Samarkand projects. This commitment underscores JA Solar's vital role as a leading provider of renewable energy solutions in Central Asia, particularly in enhancing the region's transition toward sustainable energy sources.

The Samarkand 1 and 2 projects are spearheaded by ACWA Power, a company known for its focus on developing key energy and water assets worldwide. Once operational, these solar installations are expected to generate sufficient electricity to power approximately 600,000 households while reducing carbon emissions by an impressive 1.4 million tons per year. This initiative is part of Uzbekistan’s strategic goal of sourcing 25% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030.

Collaborative Efforts

The collaboration between ACWA Power, L&T, and JA Solar indicates a shared commitment to delivering high-performance photovoltaic assets in emerging markets. Beyond generating clean energy, these investments are poised to enhance local employment, develop infrastructure, and stabilize the power grid in the region.

Aiqing Yang, Executive Vice President of JA Solar, emphasized the significance of these strategic investments, stating, "It is an honor to support these initiatives alongside world-class partners. Our high-efficiency and reliable modules have been engineered to maximize energy yield across diverse environmental conditions. This agreement highlights the trust that our partners place in JA Solar's technology and operational capabilities."
