On 9 November 2026, President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev visited the NURA Electric electrical equipment plant, part of NURA Group, located in Yukorichirchik district of Tashkent region. The President toured the production facilities and the exhibition of finished products, and reviewed the activities of a number of domestic companies in the energy and industrial sectors.

Among the companies whose activities the President reviewed were Probuild Generation (PBG) and, in particular, Industrial Engine Systems Group (IES Group), a member of PBG Group. The company was represented by Alisher Tairov, co-founder of PBG and PBG Group. The Head of State was briefed on the integrated EPCC model, the structure of PBG Group and the areas of activity of IES Group.

IES GROUP: GAS TURBINE ENGINE SERVICES

Established in 2026, Industrial Engine Systems Group is part of the energy division of PBG Group. The company specialises in the repair and supply of gas turbine engines (GTEs) for compressor stations of the gas transmission system. Looking ahead – localising the production of gas turbine engines for the oil and gas industry in Uzbekistan.

Current projects include work on AI-336 engines at the Gazli 5A compressor station. The company is also bidding in tenders for servicing LM-1600, DU-80 and AI-20 engines. Building in-country capability to repair and service GTEs reduces reliance on foreign contractors and shortens the time needed to restore critical energy equipment.

LOCALISATION AND ENGINEERING

During the visit, the President stressed the need to export not only products but also engineering services, to increase localisation in energy projects and to raise the share of domestic design institutes in project development to at least 50 per cent.

These priorities are aligned with the PBG operating model. Engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning are delivered by a domestic team, with a single point of accountability throughout the entire project lifecycle.
