Overview
Uzbekistan is advancing an ambitious energy transition, targeting significant renewable capacity expansion and a halved greenhouse gas intensity by 2035. Key reforms include liberalising electricity markets, fostering private investment, and establishing regulatory bodies to oversee energy efficiency and carbon trading.
Get more details on the table of contents and data files, as well as the list of graphs and tables by browsing the tabs below.
Highlights
- Uzbekistan targets 27 GW of renewable capacity by 2030, i.e. 50% more than its current installed capacity (2023). In its NDC.3 (2025), it committed to halve its GHG intensity by 2035 compared to 2010 levels.
- JSC "Thermal Power Plants" is the largest power utility, with 70% of the total capacity. Uzbekneftegaz is the national oil and gas company.
- Natural gas accounts for over 73% of the power mix. The country aims to double its uranium production by 2030.
- Buildings represent half of the final energy consumption (54% in 2024). Fuel prices have increased by around 55% since 2020.
- Household electricity prices are subsidised and are lower than in other CIS countries, despite a strong increase in 2024.
- A new cooperation roadmap with Gazprom might allow the construction of new gas infrastructure and pipelines.
- Over 18 GW of renewable capacity is currently planned, and another 2.5 GW is under construction.
Energy & Climate Policy Framework
The Ministry of Energy, that was set up in 2019, is in charge of implementing governmental policies and regulations in the whole energy sector, improving the tariff policy, and developing public-private partnerships. Its function was previously carried out by the Complex on the issues of Geology, Fuel and Energy, Chemical, Petrochemical, and Metallurgical Industries.
Energy Companies
Oil:
Uzbekneftegaz is active in oil production, with no competition from independent or foreign companies. In 2013, it set up New Silk Road Oil and Gas, a joint venture with China National Oil and Gas Exploration and Development Company (CNODC, part of CNPC), to explore for oil and gas in the Bukhara region.
Energy Supply & Demand
Gas:
The production of gas has been declining by about 2.7%/year since 2008 (-5%/year since 2021), reaching 45 bcm in 2024. According to preliminary estimates, it averaged 42 bcmin 2025. Gas is processed in five plants (two of which were commissioned in 2018): one in Mubarek (24 bcm/year), two in Shurtan (20 bcm/year), one in Kandym, and one in Gissar.
Energy Use and Price by Sector
Energy Prices in Transport:
In 2024, fuel prices stayed stable compared to 2023, at around US$1/l for gasoline and US$0.97/l for diesel. Fuel prices were deregulated in 2020, surging in 2021 and 2022 (+23%/year for gasoline and +31%/year for diesel) following the rise in global crude oil prices until 2022, before stabilizing in 2023 (+2% and -10%, respectively) and 2024 (-1% for gasoline and +1.8% for diesel).
Issues & Prospects
As part of its "Economic Development Vision 2030", the Government plans to transform Uzbekistan into an industrialised middle-income country by achieving a per capita income of US$6 500 by 2030 and US$8 500 by 2040.
