A major milestone has been achieved in Uzbekistan's energy modernization efforts with the award of a UZS 10.7 billion contract under the District Heating Energy Efficiency Project. The contract has been awarded to ANTANTA DREAM, supporting ongoing initiatives to improve the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of district heating infrastructure across the country.

The contract forms part of the World Bank-backed District Heating Energy Efficiency Project (Project ID: P146206), a strategic program designed to enhance energy performance and reduce operational losses within Uzbekistan's heating sector.

World Bank-Supported Energy Efficiency Initiative

According to the contract award notice, ANTANTA DREAM emerged as the successful bidder for the procurement package identified as NCB-DH-IH-ADD-AVIM. The contract was awarded on 14 May 2026 and later published on 9 June 2026.

Valued at UZS 10,707,699,426.98, the contract contributes to broader efforts aimed at upgrading district heating systems, improving service quality, and increasing energy efficiency in urban areas. The project is being implemented with support from the World Bank, reflecting continued international investment in Uzbekistan's infrastructure development and energy transition goals.

Advancing Sustainable Heating Infrastructure

District heating systems play a critical role in providing reliable thermal energy to residential, commercial, and public-sector buildings. However, aging infrastructure and energy losses have historically affected operational efficiency in many regions.

The District Heating Energy Efficiency Project seeks to address these challenges through modernization measures, improved equipment, and enhanced system performance. Investments under the project are expected to reduce energy consumption, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and improve heating reliability for consumers.

The awarded contract will support these objectives by contributing to project implementation activities and infrastructure improvements associated with the district heating network.

ANTANTA DREAM Secures Strategic Contract

ANTANTA DREAM, a Uzbekistan-based company, secured the contract through a competitive procurement process conducted under World Bank procurement guidelines. The award highlights the company's capability to participate in large-scale infrastructure and energy efficiency initiatives within the country.

The contract is expected to generate economic benefits through local employment opportunities, supply chain activity, and increased investment in the energy services sector.

Supporting Uzbekistan's Energy Modernization Goals

Uzbekistan has prioritized energy efficiency and infrastructure modernization as key components of its economic development strategy. Improving district heating performance is essential for reducing energy waste, enhancing urban living conditions, and strengthening long-term energy security.

World Bank-supported projects such as this one continue to play an important role in helping the country modernize critical public infrastructure while promoting sustainable growth.

Looking Ahead

With the contract now awarded, ANTANTA DREAM is expected to begin project-related activities that contribute to the modernization of Uzbekistan's district heating network. As implementation progresses, stakeholders will be closely monitoring the project's impact on energy efficiency, service reliability, and environmental sustainability across the country's heating sector.
