What are Uzbekistan's energy plans?

Uzbekistan plans to develop alternative energy sources, including solar, wind and hydro, to produce electricity with low-carbon emissions. Uzbekistan also plans to build Central Asia’s first nuclear power plant, to provide the country with “uninterrupted and high-quality electricity on an industrial scale”.

Does Uzbekistan have a solar power plant?

In Uzbekistan, HPP generation is counted as electricity produced from renewable energy sources (RESs). Despite the country’s considerable solar energy potential, it has no industrial-scale solar power plants. Furthermore, as wind potential has not been studied sufficiently, there are also no industrial-scale wind farms.

Will Uzbekistan build a nuclear power plant?

Uzbekistan also plans to build Central Asia’s first nuclear power plant, to provide the country with “uninterrupted and high-quality electricity on an industrial scale”. Discover our expertise and know-how for all kind of decarbonized energy.

What is Uzbekistan's Energy Transformation Programme?

This collaboration will create jobs locally and bring international engineering expertise in design, project management and digital tools to the heart of Uzbekistan’s energy transformation programme. Uzbekistan plans to develop alternative energy sources, including solar, wind and hydro, to produce electricity with low-carbon emissions.

How does Uzbekistan's energy system work?

Uzbekistan’s energy system works closely with those of Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Russia and other Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries through 220‑kV and 500‑kV lines. The small Lochin station in the Fergana valley is connected to Kyrgyzstan’s power system by a 500‑kV line.

Where do Uzbekistan's boilers come from?

Boilers account for 72% of heat energy production, and the rest is supplied by the Fergana, Mubarek, Tashkent, Navoi and Angren TPPs of the Thermal Power Plants JSC. Some of Uzbekistan’s boiler houses and heat supply networks are outdated and worn out, as this domain has never attracted foreign investment.
