Beijing: Chinese enterprises led by China Gezhouba Group Overseas Investment Co, an overseas investment arm of China Energy Engineering Corp (CEEC), recently embarked on a journey to Central Asia, amid the strong push globally for a transition to green energy.

Earlier this month, a freight train carrying solar modules left Xi’an, in the Shaanxi province, to the construction sites of two upcoming photovoltaic power plants of 500-megawatt capacity each, in the Bukhara and Kashkadarya regions in Uzbekistan.
