Chapter 1. Uzbekistan''s energy sector
Today practically the entire populated territory of Uzbekistan, except for certain (less than 1,500) re-mote hard to reach agricultural settlements, is pro-vided with the centralized power supply [16].

Notably, the capacity of solar and wind power plants currently in operation is approximately 5,000 megawatts, while hydroelectric power plants account for 400 megawatts.
W of electricity installed generating capacity. As of 2020, Uzbekistan registered 27 small-scale hydropower plants up to 30 MW with a total installed capacity of 303.6 MW, included 15 small -scale hydropower plants
The installed capacity of Power Plants of Uzbekistan exceeds 12,3 GW equal to 50% of all generating capacities of the Interconnected Power System of Central Asia
We are aiming to announce 3 projects with 250 MW in Bukhara, 150 MW in Namangan and 100 MW in Khorezm regions. In February 2020, there was an announcement about the first project - “Construction of PV
Following Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan is the second largest of the Caspian gas producers and, hence, natural gas-fired thermal power plants are the country''s main source of electricity, supplying approximately 85% of
ACWA Power plans to build a 500 MW solar plant and a 500 MWh battery energy storage system in Uzbekistan under a project proposed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
Over the past six years, the number of hydroelectric power plants in Uzbekistan has increased from 37 in 2017 to 58. After the launch of a number of hydroelectric power plants, their number will reach 71.
In addition to large-scale CCGT and steam turbine plants, several combined heat and power (CHP) facilities are operational in industrial and urban areas, including Tashkent, Navoi, and Fergana. These units are optimized
According to IEA: "today''s supply and investment plans for many critical minerals fall well short of what is needed to support an accelerated deployment of solar panels, wind turbines and electric vehicles/batteries.
