Advancing Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Practices in Uzbekistan's Transition to a "Green" Economy
Uzbekistan holds substantial potential for renewable energy, with approximately 97% derived from solar sources. As a sunny country, Uzbekistan is strategically positioned to prioritize the development of solar photovoltaic stations (PVS) for energy generation. The current solar generation potential ranges from 525 to 760 billion kWh, owing to the nation's 320 sunny days per year, each averaging 3,000 hours of active sunshine. Envisioning a sustainable future, Uzbekistan plans to increase the share of "green" energy to 8,000 MW by 2026, leading to a reduction of 5 million tons in carbon dioxide emissions. Additionally, by 2030, the goal is to double energy efficiency and achieve a minimum of 25% renewable energy in the economy.
