18 new energy facilities launched in Uzbekistan
On December 13, Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev launched 18 new energy complexes worth a total of more than $7 billion and launched the construction of 6 new projects.
According to the presidential press service, the new energy projects will generate an additional 9.5 billion kilowatt hours of electricity, which will save 2.5 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year.
Every year, 4.6 million tons of harmful gas emissions are reduced, protecting the environment.
4 million homes will be provided with uninterrupted clean energy, and the value added to the economy will increase by $4 billion.
Uzbekistan is taking important steps towards transitioning to "green energy." In particular, by 2025, solar and wind power plants with a capacity of 3.4 thousand megawatts will be built.
For the first time, 300 megawatt energy storage systems were built in Andijan and Fergana regions.
The share of "green energy" in the network will reach 16 percent, and 12 billion kilowatt hours of energy will be produced by the end of the year.
President Shavkat Mirziyoyev noted that these projects are being implemented at the expense of foreign investments. Companies from the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, China and Germany are participating in the projects. Support from financial institutions such as the Asian Development Bank and the World Bank is also of great importance.
By 2030, the share of renewable energy will be increased to 54%. More than 2,000 micro hydroelectric power plants will be built with the participation of small and medium-sized entrepreneurs.
A wholesale electricity market will be created and electricity networks will be modernized on the basis of public-private partnerships.
These projects being implemented in Uzbekistan are important not only for economic development, but also for environmental sustainability and meeting society's energy needs.
The President noted that these efforts are aimed at creating a sustainable and environmentally friendly country for future generations.
