Uzbekistan to leave Central Asian unified power system
Moscow | Thursday, Nov 5 2009 IST
 

Uzbekistan is set to withdraw from Central Asia's unified power system (UPS), Esso Sadullayev, a senior official at the ex-Soviet nation's Uzbekenergo state-run electricity company said today.

The UPS is a synchronous transmission grid of the CIS countries.

''The unified power system of Central Asia is becoming outdated and a source of conflict between member countries over the maintenance for sustainable operation of national energy systems,'' Mr Sadullayev told RIA Novosti.

Mr Sadullayev also said the Central Asian state was currently taking energy security measures to enable it to maintain the stability of its own power system.

He said Uzbekistan was seeking to obtain guarantees against unsanctioned electricity tapping and protect its domestic power systems from external effects.

In October, Kazakhstan's Electricity Grid Operating Company (KEGOC), a national transmission grid operator in Kazakhstan, reported unsanctioned electricity bleeds, in particular by Tajikistan.

KEGOC warned against the threat of ''serious power supply limitations'' for consumers at the power center in southern Kazakhstan and a ''consecutive possibility of provoking a system failure that would affect power systems of both Kazakhstan and Russia''.

Kazakh Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Duisenbai Turganov announced on Tuesday his country's decision to withdraw from the organisation.

Turkmenistan was the first to abandon the system in June 2003.
