Uzbekistan targets over 18,000 MW of solar and wind energy by
Uzbekistan is making strides in renewable energy, aiming to exceed 18,000 MW of solar and wind capacity by 2030, which will enable the country to generate 40% of its electricity from
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.
It outlines the sustainable energy environment solar energy could deliver and offers a timeline up to 2030. In this vision, Uzbekistan succeeds in maximising the benefits of solar energy capacity for both electricity and heat, making solar energy one of the country's major energy sources.
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
Nevertheless, a more comprehensive set of policies and support mechanisms will be required to reach Uzbekistan's maximum capacity of solar energy and further increase solar energy toward 2030. The government should consider bundling the range of actions needed to ensure the use of all types of solar energy resources.
