Ministry of Energy of Uzbekistan publishes new ten-year strategy for electricity provision

Tashkent, Uzbekistan, 04 May 2020. The Ministry of Energy of Uzbekistan announces the publication of a ‘Concept Note’, outlining its strategy (“the Strategy”) for the provision of electricity in the Republic of Uzbekistan between 2020-2030.

The context to the Strategy is the high priority given by the Government of Uzbekistan – under the leadership of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev – to a radical programme of reforms to meet increasing energy demand from a growing population and a fast-developing economy.

Mr Alisher Sultanov, Minister of Energy of Uzbekistan said:

“Our new Concept Note outlines a comprehensive strategy to satisfy the increasing demand for electrical power in Uzbekistan. It also means our power sector’s development will continue in line with international best practice. The strategy is ambitious in scope, but grounded in realism with, practical and achievable goals to reach by 2030.”

The Strategy, which will be amended and adjusted as necessary, defines mid-term and long-term objectives and directions for the development of power sector in the country from 2020 to 2030. It will deliver electrical power at competitive prices in Uzbekistan and ensure the evolution of a balanced power sector, embracing international best practice and modern trends in the global electricity industry.

It outlines priority activities to be undertaken including:

By 2030, the Strategy is scheduled to deliver:

The development of renewable energy sources will contribute to affordable electricity supplies in regions with current shortages. Renewable energy will improve environmental conditions, increase efficiency and stimulate the development of local industries, infrastructure and job creation.

It is envisaged that by 2030, whilst the state will remain the owner of Hydro Power Plants, Nuclear Power Plant and some Thermal Power Plants – most of the country’s electricity generation plants will be concentrated in the private sector.
