Uzbekistan has rapidly accelerated its green energy transformation. According to the Minister of Energy of Uzbekistan, Jurabek Mirzamakhmudov, the country expects to produce more than 135 billion kWh of electricity by 2030, with 10-15 billion kWh available for export, much of it from solar and wind.
The government says green energy generation will reach 23 billion kilowatt-hours, enough to cover the entire annual consumption of the country’s population. The announcement came from President Shavkat Mirziyoyev as he launched dozens of new renewable and grid projects at the forum "Powering the Future: Sustainable Energy for New Uzbekistan."
The results of the reform are stark. In 2016, Uzbekistan generated 59 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity. By 2024, that figure climbed to 81.5 billion kWh, a 38% jump. Per capita electricity generation also rose from 1,860 kWh to 2,200 kWh.
These investments are not only building capacity — they are reshaping the energy map of Uzbekistan. The country now has more than 4.2 GW of renewable capacity online, with plans to reach 20 GW by 2030, amounting to 40% of total electricity generation.
