Total Energy Consumption
Total energy consumption per capita is about 1.3 toe, while the electricity consumption per capita is around 1 650 kWh (2021).
Total energy consumption increased by 3.7% in 2021 to 47 Mtoe. Previously, it had been decreasing by 3%/year between 2018-2020.
Uzbekistan's energy intensity is among the highest in the world but is decreasing very rapidly (-7%/year since 2000).
Gas represents most of the country's total energy consumption with 85%, followed by oil with 8%, coal and lignite with 5%, and hydropower with 2% (2021).

Crude Oil Production
Oil production has dropped by 4.5%/year since 2020 to 2.7 Mt in 2021. It remained largely stable over 2015-2019.
In 2021, Uzbekistan had a total oil refining capacity of 232 kb/d from its three refineries located in Ferghana (108 kb/d), Alty-Arik (66 kb/d), and Bukhara (50 kb/d). They are operated at only 20% of their capacity, as demand is limited; only 0.7 Mt of oil products were imported in 2021.
In 2017, Russia started to supply oil to the country through the Omsk-Pavlodar-Shymkent pipeline (12 Mt).

Renewable in % Electricity Production
In the updated NDC (2021), the government plans to build 5 GW of solar, 3 GW of wind, and 1.9 GW of hydropower capacities by 2030 to cover 25% of the power mix (up from 8% in 2021).
In 2017, the Government launched a state programme to support the development of renewables. According to this programme, the country will invest US$81m and plans to raise US$5.3bn from foreign sources to develop hydro, wind, and solar power by 2025.

CO2 Fuel Combustion/CO2 Emissions
In its updated NDC, the country plans to reduce the carbon intensity of the GDP by 35% by 2030 from 2010 levels; this target is not very ambitious, as in 2021 the carbon intensity was already 46% below its 2010 level. In 2021, it signed an MoU with the EBRD to reach carbon neutrality by 2050 by developing renewables capacities.
CO2 emissions from energy combustion, which decreased by 7%/year between 2011 and 2015, have been rising since then (+3%/year), reaching 113 MtCO2 in 2021.
