Tashkent Region is considering testing an autonomous power system from the Japanese company SYSKO Inc. at one of the region’s facilities. The pilot project is proposed to be implemented over six months. The initiative was discussed by the regional governor (hokim) Zoyir Mirzaev and company representatives during a meeting at the Embassy of Uzbekistan in Japan. The developed system is designed to provide uninterrupted power supply during central grid outages.

The energy complex is housed in a standard 20-foot container and includes a 100 kW generator and a 100 kWh battery storage unit. An industrial enterprise or a social facility in a mountainous area where power outages occur regularly is being considered for the trials. If the experiment proves successful, the parties will explore the possibility of installing such systems at other facilities across the region, as well as establishing a local center for their assembly and maintenance.

In addition to energy, the negotiators discussed the training of specialists in the field of digital technologies and artificial intelligence. SYSKO could organize online training for students of local universities and young programmers, with the most promising projects receiving the opportunity to apply for startup support. Furthermore, processing and packaging of agricultural products for export to Japan, as well as the entry of the Genki Sushi and Uobei restaurant brands into the regional market, were discussed with representatives of Shinmei Holdings. The parties will continue to evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of the proposed initiatives.
