Institutions & Energy Policy
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
Gas:
Uzbekneftegaz (76% state-owned) is the national oil and gas company. It was reorganised in 2019 by merging different subsidiaries in the gas and oil upstream and downstream activities. The State sold a 24% stake in the company in 2022 through a public offering (IPO). In total, 620 public companies were meant to be privatised under the same plan.
Energy Supply
Resources:
Uzbekistan has large gas reserves (around 867 bcm of proven reserves) and more modest oil reserves (around 80 Mt) (end of 2022). Around 80% of gas reserves are located in the Amu Darya basin in the Bukhara region. The country also has significant uranium reserves (50 Mt).
Energy Prices
Electricity:
Residential prices, which are regulated and heavily subsidised, doubled between 2018 and 2020 and froze at their 2020 level until 2023 (variations in US$ prices due to exchange rate variations), at around US$2.5c/kWh in 2023. Industrial prices have surged by 23%/year since 2018, reaching US$7.8c/kWh in 2023 (+43% in 2023 alone), except for a stagnation at around US$4.25c/kWh in 2020-2021.
Energy Consumption
Total energy consumption per capita is about 1.3 toe, while the electricity consumption per capita is around 1 650 kWh (about 65% below the CIS average) (2022).
Total energy consumption dipped by 3.8% in 2022 to 48 Mtoe, back to its 2018 level. It had surged by 10%/year between 2015 and 2018 before decreasing by 3%/year until 2020.
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.
