Context of renewable energy in Uzbekistan –
The Ministry of Energy, established in February 2019, has overall responsibility for the development and implementation of energy policies,
In November 2022, Uzbekistan set up a new power plant in Khovos, Syrdaryo, to increase its generating capacity. The Ministry of Energy mentioned that this plant can generate up to 1.7 billion KWh of electricity every year. According to BP's statstical review 2022, Uzbekistan genrated 70.1 Gwh of electricity in 2021.
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.
The Uzbekistan Power Market is growing at a CAGR of greater than 2.41% over the next 5 years. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd, Masdar Clean Energy Company, Helios Energy Ltd, SkyPower Ltd and Federal Hydro-Generating Co RusHydro PAO are the major companies operating in this market.
In November 2022, Uzbekistan unveiled a new power plant that will extend its generating capacity. According to the Ministry of Energy, the power plant constructed in the Syrdaryo province's Khovos district will have the capacity to generate up to 1.7 billion KWh of electricity annually once it is fully operational.
The country is rich in natural resources, including oil, gas, and coal, and has a growing renewable energy sector. Uzbekistan has set ambitious goals for renewable energy production, aiming to generate 25 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030.
It shares official national energy statistics with the International Energy Agency and is keen on adopting international methodologies. As a result, Uzbekistan released a pilot energy balance in 2019 following the United Nations Statistics Division's International Recommendations for Energy Statistics guidelines.
