Uzbekistan’s electricity production has seen a significant surge, reaching 73.6 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) from January to November 2024, according to data from the country’s Statistics Agency. This marks a 4.5% increase compared to the 70.4 billion kWh recorded during the same period in 2023.
The month of November 2024 alone contributed 7 billion kWh to this figure, showcasing growth from October’s production of 6.3 billion kWh. This steady rise highlights Uzbekistan’s commitment to enhancing energy output to meet increasing demand.
Expanding Energy Infrastructure
To ensure sustainable growth in electricity production, Uzbekistan has set ambitious plans to commission five new thermal power plants by 2027. These power plants will collectively provide an additional capacity of 4,183 megawatts (MW).
These projects are part of public-private partnerships and agreements with foreign companies, reflecting the country’s strategy to attract investment and modernize its energy infrastructure. The new plants will not only bolster energy security but also stabilize electricity supplies for residential and industrial use.
A Future of Enhanced Capacity
By 2027, Uzbekistan aims to operationalize 12 advanced thermal power plants with a total capacity of 7,057 MW. These developments are expected to significantly contribute to the nation’s energy landscape, providing reliable electricity to support economic growth and improve the quality of life for its citizens.
The continuous rise in electricity production
and the expansion of infrastructure underscore Uzbekistan’s commitment to addressing energy challenges and ensuring a stable power supply for its future.
