How to make solar energy a key energy source in Uzbekistan?

The policy and regulatory frameworks enabling further solar energy deployment in Uzbekistan. Increasing power system flexibility to integrate the increasing amount of solar generation. Finally, the recommended actions are a co-ordinated package of measures to implement to make solar energy the key energy source in Uzbekistan in 2030 and beyond.

What is a large-scale solar PV project in Uzbekistan?

Large-scale solar PV projects have been subject to competitive bidding processes in Uzbekistan since 2019 and an awarded project can sign a long-term contract with NEGU at a fixed tariff, as noted above. The government of Uzbekistan also aims to develop small- and medium-scale solar projects.

Can variable solar power be used in Uzbekistan?

variable solar electricity benefits from the local flexibility provided by dispatchable, highly flexible hydropower, thus limiting impacts on the power system. There are currently 25 reservoirs in Uzbekistan, with a total water surface of 1 500 km 2, 4 of which are hydropower reservoirs totalling 890 km 2 (CAWater, 2021).

Will Uzbekistan reach its maximum capacity of solar 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.

Who provided feedback and input to Uzbekistan's solar energy project?

Valuable comments, feedback and input were provided by Bekzod Asadov and Askar Zaitov (the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Uzbekistan), Philippe Malbranche (the International Solar Alliance), Seung Duck Kim (the Asian Development Bank), and Alexander Zenebe (the EU Delegation to Uzbekistan).

Will Uzbekistan achieve a 25% renewable electricity share by 2030?

However, Uzbekistan should achieve a renewable electricity share (including hydropower generation) of 25% by 2030 in line with the Strategy for the Transition of the Republic of Uzbekistan to the Green Economy for the Period 2019-2030.
