SNAPSHOT OF THE ENERGY SECTOR
The energy sector of Uzbekistan is undergoing rapid modernization and diversification, supported by large-scale investments in conventional and renewable energy infrastructure. In 2025, electricity production reached 86.7 billion kWh, while natural gas production totaled 44.6 billion cubic meters, reflecting the sector’s strategic importance to national economic growth and industrial development.
Uzbekistan continues accelerating its transition toward a diversified and sustainable energy mix. Renewable energy development has become a national priority, with solar and wind power projects expanding rapidly across the country. In 2025 alone, solar and wind power plants generated more than 5 billion kWh of electricity, significantly contributing to energy security, emissions reduction, and natural gas savings.
Hydropower also remains a key pillar of the country’s energy strategy. Uzbekistan’s total installed hydroelectric capacity reached 3.1 GW, while the government continues implementing modernization and expansion projects aimed at increasing hydropower efficiency and output.
In support of this transformation, Uzbekistan commissioned 42 new energy facilities in 2025 alone, including solar, wind, thermal, and transmission infrastructure projects. These developments demonstrate the government’s commitment to strengthening energy security, improving grid reliability, and supporting rising domestic and industrial electricity demand.
The country’s broader energy strategy prioritizes renewable energy expansion between 2020 and 2030, with plans to exceed 20 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030 through solar, wind, hybrid, and battery storage projects. Major wind farms are being developed in Karakalpakstan and Navoi regions, while large solar clusters with integrated storage systems are being deployed across central and southern Uzbekistan.
Uzbekistan is also actively modernizing transmission and distribution infrastructure, reducing network losses, and implementing electricity market reforms designed to attract private investment and improve operational efficiency. The transition toward a competitive wholesale electricity market, combined with strong state support and international partnerships, positions Uzbekistan as one of the most dynamic energy investment destinations in Central Asia.
