Construction started on the first plant on July 7, 2025 in Andijan with China International CAMCE. That plant will burn 1,500 tons of waste every day and generate 240 million kWh of electricity. CAMCE will invest USD 140 million and cover the costs.

The second plant began on July 18, 2025 in Samarkand with Shanghai SUS Environment. It will also burn 1,500 tons daily and produce 240 million kWh. SUS Environment will spend USD 150 million to build it.

These projects are part of a plan to build at least seven plants by 2027. Uzbekistan produces 14 million tons of waste a year and only 4 percent is recycled. Some people worry about transparency and health risks.
