As part of its ambitious strategy to reduce its environmental footprint, NMMC has made significant strides in expanding its renewable energy capacity. By the close of 2024, the company’s solar photovoltaic installations at its production facilities reached 7,250 kW—a fivefold increase from previous levels. In a notable achievement, all administrative buildings now operate entirely on solar power during the summer months (April to October).
Looking ahead to the first quarter of 2025, NMMC aims to further boost its solar capacity to 9,550 kW, which is expected to generate approximately 17.5 million kWh annually.
In addition to its solar advancements, NMMC is harnessing wind energy to power its operations. A 500 MW wind farm in Tamdy is currently supplying 12.6% of the company’s electricity needs, significantly contributing to emission reduction efforts. The region’s renewable portfolio is set to expand further with the upcoming launch of a 500 MW solar plant, projected to produce around 1 billion kWh of energy annually, accounting for 21% of the company’s energy demand.
NMMC’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond electricity generation. The installation of 4,993 solar water heaters across its facilities now produces 724,000 liters of hot water daily, saving 1.7 million cubic meters of natural gas each year. This initiative alone is anticipated to cut CO₂ emissions by approximately 3,242 tons annually, underscoring NMMC’s proactive approach to reducing its environmental impact.
As Uzbekistan embraces a greener future, NMMC positions itself at the forefront of the mining sector’s sustainability revolution. By integrating renewable energy solutions across its operations, the company is not only reducing its own carbon footprint but also setting a new benchmark for environmental responsibility in the industry.
With these transformative steps, NMMC is powering its own future while significantly contributing to Uzbekistan’s broader environmental goals—a testament to what can be achieved when visionary leadership meets decisive action.
