LONGi has been an active contributor to the energy transition across Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) member states, with several landmark projects now completed and operational.

Since China assumed the rotating chairmanship of the SCO at the Astana Summit in July 2024, leading up to the Heads of State Summit in Tianjin from August 31 to September 1, 2025, LONGi has advanced both the Belt and Road Initiative and the global sustainable development agenda. Through extensive cooperation with SCO member states, observer states, and dialogue partners, the company has helped bring a series of major green energy projects online. These initiatives showcase “Chinese strength” and “LONGi solutions,” accelerating regional energy transformation and supporting low-carbon development.

In Uzbekistan’s Tashkent, Bukhara, and Kashkadarya regions, large-scale photovoltaic power stations developed by Chinese enterprises are being powered by LONGi’s high-efficiency Hi-MO series modules. Designed to meet the specific needs of each site, LONGi provided tailored solutions incorporating TaiRay silicon wafers thicker than 130 μm, significantly improving crack resistance and load-bearing performance to ensure stable and reliable operations.

Among these projects, the 263 MW solar plant in Buka District, Tashkent Region, is scheduled for grid connection in September 2025 and will supply 570 million kWh of electricity annually, easing power shortages in the capital. In Bukhara and Kashkadarya, two 500 MW projects—together totaling 1 GW—are due to connect to the grid in September 2024. As the largest single photovoltaic development in Central Asia, they are expected to generate 2.4 billion kWh per year, saving around 520 million cubic meters of natural gas. The projects have received strong recognition from President Mirziyoyev for their contribution to Uzbekistan’s clean energy goals.

These initiatives reflect the growing momentum of Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) energy cooperation, as China’s chairmanship drives deeper collaboration in renewable and hydrogen technologies. For Central Asian countries, the projects support multiple national priorities, including energy independence, emissions reduction, and economic growth.

By delivering on its “Solar for All” vision, LONGi is advancing the SCO’s objectives of green development, energy security, and regional cooperation. The projects stand as model cases of clean energy collaboration, adding to the outcomes of the upcoming Tianjin Summit and highlighting the role of Chinese enterprises in advancing the Belt and Road Initiative with high-quality, innovative solutions.In Uzbekistan’s Tashkent, Bukhara, and Kashkadarya regions, large-scale photovoltaic power stations developed by Chinese enterprises are being powered by LONGi’s high-efficiency Hi-MO series modules.
