Uzbekistan Accelerates Green Transition with Record Power Generation

Since the beginning of 2025, the volume of electricity generated by solar and wind power plants in Uzbekistan has exceeded 7 billion kWh, according to the country's Ministry of Energy.

Of this amount, 4.36 billion kWh was produced by solar plants, while 2.64 billion kWh came from wind facilities, The Caspian Post reports, citing Uzbek media.

The country currently operates 12 solar photovoltaic power plants with a combined capacity of 4,582 MW, as well as 4 wind power plants.

For comparison:

• in 2022, the first power plants in Navoi and Samarkand regions produced 434 million kWh;

• in 2023 - 576.9 million kWh;

• in 2024 - 4.86 billion kWh.

Thus, green energy output has multiplied in 2025. Between 2 and 28 August alone, production increased by an additional 1 billion kWh. On average, solar and wind power plants generate 29.1 million kWh per day.

As a result, Uzbekistan saved 2.1 billion cubic meters of natural gas and prevented more than 2.94 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions.

Taking hydropower into account, all renewable sources have generated 11.9 billion kWh since the start of the year - equivalent to 21.5% of Uzbekistan’s total electricity production.

According to the Ministry of Energy, green generation has covered the consumption of 7.4 million households over eight months, or the annual consumption of 4.9 million households.
