The Aksu-1 revival
A proven site.
A new energy chapter.
Built on the site of the former Aksu-1 hydropower station, SD Eco is restoring a piece of Uzbekistan’s energy heritage with modern engineering.
The project uses cross-flow turbine technology designed for strong performance under variable and lower water-flow conditions. The result is a resilient, efficient source of clean electricity designed around the realities of the local river system.

One continuous
energy system.
Water is guided through the restored Aksu-1 infrastructure, converted into mechanical energy by the cross-flow turbine, then delivered as clean electricity to the grid.
Turbine
Cross-flow technology transforms water pressure into dependable rotation.
Power
Generated electricity is conditioned and supplied to Uzbekistan’s national grid.
