This Solar Energy Policy in Uzbekistan Roadmap is part of the EU4Energy programme, a five-year initiative funded by the European Union. EU4Energy’s aim is to support the development of evidence-based energy policy design and data capabilities in Eastern Partnership and Central Asian countries, of which Uzbekistan is a part.
TASHKENT, May 21, 2024 — The World Bank Group, Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company PJSC (Masdar), and the Government of Uzbekistan have signed a financial package to fund a 250-megawatt (MW) solar photovoltaic plant with a 63-MW battery energy storage system (BESS).
Uzbekistan is rapidly transforming its energy sector with a focus on renewable energy to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Since 2021, the country has added 10 new renewable plants, including nine solar and one wind facility, with a total capacity exceeding 2,500 MW, alongside over 2,200 MW from hydroelectric plants.
By 2030, Uzbekistan aims to source over 40% of its electricity from renewables, demonstrating its commitment to sustainability. The plan also includes advancing energy storage, with a 300 MW lithium-ion system debuting in 2024 and a goal of 4.2 GW storage capacity by 2030. The Role of Energy Storage in Renewable Energy
Uzbekistan has made a positive effort toward that end, including by setting clear targets and reforming the energy sector and has been progressing toward achieving the solar power capacity target of 4 GW by 2026 and 5 GW by 2030.
The government of Uzbekistan needs to periodically monitor its progress toward a solar energy future and to review policies and actions where appropriate. This roadmap provides a timeline through 2030 with key actions.
