Uzbekistan is committed to boosting its renewable energy
capacity to 40% by 2030, Azernews reports.
The announcement, made by the Uzbek president's office, outlines
plans to integrate the initial 2.6 GW of 14 solar and wind power
plants into the grid this year.
This move will elevate the contribution of renewable sources to
Uzbekistan's overall electricity output from 9% to 15%.
Currently, Uzbekistan is in the process of constructing 32 green
energy facilities, totaling 18.3 GW and valued at $19 billion, in
collaboration with international partners.
In parallel, Uzbekhydroenergo, the nation's energy company, has
adopted a hydropower development program extending until 2030. The
program aims to maximize Uzbekistan's hydroelectric potential and
introduce new generating capacities.
Under this initiative, over 50 significant investment projects
have been undertaken, with plans to boost the capacity of
hydropower plants (HPP) to 6 GW by 2030. This will be achieved
through the construction of new HPPs and the modernization of
existing ones, ushering in a transformative era for Uzbekistan's
energy landscape.
