TOKYO -- Japanese trading houses Toyota Tsusho and Sojitz plan to build and operate wind farms in Uzbekistan, aiming to tap demand for renewable energy in a country largely reliant on natural gas for power generation.
Eurus Energy Holdings, wholly owned by Toyota Tsusho, will develop and operate a wind farm with a generating capacity of 500 megawatts. Surveying of the construction site is underway. This is expected to be the first wind farm overseen by a Japanese company in Uzbekistan.
