The construction of the 500 kV Switchyard (OSY) at the Talimarjan Thermal Power Plant (TTPP) is in the final stage, with partial operation underway. The existing Karakul-Guzar 500 kV power transmission line has been looped in and out of the Talimarjan OSY and got energized in February 2014. Construction of complete Talimarjan- Sogdiana (218 kilometers) transmission line was completed in November 2013. The expansion works at 500 kV Sogdiana Substation are almost completed (one shunt reactor has already been installed but yet to be commissioned). Some portion of the line on pre-commissioning checks has found some technical issues with Corona rings, which is being addressed, and the needed parts would be replaced in next three months. The new target for completion of remaining facilities in September 2014. 2. UzbekEnergo successfully completed the contracting of additional auto transformers and transformers, power equipment 110-500 kV, and medium voltage power equipment on Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Report No: ISR15750 November 27, 2013. The purchase of these equipment financed from the savings of the major investment component and will help to upgrade and improve the quality of functioning of the 220-500 kV backbone substations of the South-Western region of the Republic of Uzbekistan. It is planned to cover some more substations, utilizing additional 12 million USD savings in the last procurement. Public Disclosure Copy 3.The contract for the Wind power Potential Assessment has become effective. Other technical assistance activities are progressing well, incuding consultancy service for “Assessment of the Power Distribution Systems Rehabilitation Options and Preparing the Feasibility Reports (Assessment)” , which aims to lay the foundation for the countrywide design standard of distribution systems upgrade and new investment project financing. 4. The Project audit report has been received on time, while entity audit report is expected two months late from due date, a significant improvement of previous year submission. The consultants to support implementation of IFRS transition are under recruitment, including auditors for the year 2014-16 Audit.
