Uzbekistan home energy resource unit

How much energy does Uzbekistan use?

Using these data, one can calculate Uzbekistan’s to-tal domestic energy consumption as being 49 to 50 million t.o.e (Box 1.1). At present, hydropower is the only renewable en-ergy source with a significant share in Uzbekistan’s energy balance.

What is Uzbekistan's primary energy source?

As the data on primary energy resources produc-tion in Table 1.1 and Figure 1.1 show, natural gas is the Republic of Uzbekistan’s main source of pri-mary energy, constituting nearly 85% of the total amount of energy it produces.

Does Uzbekistan have a solar power plant?

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.

Why does Uzbekistan need a new energy system?

Uzbekistan’s aging and unreliable infrastructure, energy systems, and equipment are in dire need of upgrades as electricity transmission losses are estimated at 20 percent of net generation. Power generation capacity remains much lower than the actual domestic demand, and as a result, modernization efforts are a top priority for the GOU.

What is Uzbekistan's res potential?

Uzbekistan’s considerable RES potential could spur significant development of a green, environmentally friendly economy. The country’s total RES potential is 117 984 Mtoe, while its technical potential is 179.3 Mtoe. The bulk of this potential lies in solar energy (total potential of 51 Gtoe and technical potential of 177 Mtoe).
