How many outdoor power supplies are there in Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan's total renewable energy capacity was 1 844 MW in 2018, which covered about 3% of total energy consumption. On average, 10-12% of the country's total electricity is generated from RES.

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.

Uzbekistan's energy system works closely with those of Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Russia and other Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries through 220-kV and 500-kV lines. The small Lochin station in the Fergana valley is connected to Kyrgyzstan's power system by a 500-kV line.

Uzbekistan is developing international energy co-operation based on mutually beneficial economic relations. It particularly helps neighbouring Afghanistan by exporting electricity to it and plans to build a 500-kV line in the Surkhandarya region to increase its exports.

Traditional biomass – the burning of charcoal, crop waste, and other organic matter – is not included. This can be an important source in lower-income settings. Uzbekistan: How much of the country's electricity comes from nuclear power? Nuclear power – alongside renewables – is a low-carbon source of electricity.

The industry sector, which often uses outdated technologies in its production processes, accounts for 40% of all energy consumed in the country. The Uzbek government aims to reduce the energy intensity of the economy by about 50% by 2030. To this end, state programmes have been initiated to modernise key energy-intensive sectors.
