Uzbekistan Total Energy Consumption
Total energy consumption per capita is about 1.3 toe, while the electricity consumption per capita is around 1 800 kWh (about 65% below the CIS average) (2023).
Total energy consumption dipped by 1.2% in 2023 to 45.6 Mtoe. It has ranged between 41 and 53 Mtoe since 2000. Uzbekistan's energy intensity is among the highest in the world but is falling rapidly (-6.5%/year since 2000).
Gas represents most of the country's total energy consumption with 80%, followed by oil with 10%, coal and lignite with 8%, and hydropower with 1% (2023).

Uzbekistan Crude Oil Production
Oil production has stabilised at around 3 Mt/year since 2017 (2.9 Mt in 2023), after halving between 2005 and 2016 (from 5.6 Mt to 2.7 Mt). Since 2017, Uzbekistan can import Russian oil through the 12 Mt/year Omsk-Pavlodar-Shymkent pipeline.

Uzbekistan Renewable in % Electricity Production
In 2024, Uzbekistan approved new targets to reach 27 GW of renewable capacity and 40% of renewable power generation in 2030, to enable a 34 MtCO2 cut in emissions.
These targets are more ambitious than the updated NDC (2021), which planned to build 5 GW of solar, 3 GW of wind, and 1.9 GW of hydropower capacity by 2030 to cover 25% of the power mix (up from 8% in 2023). They are also more ambitious than the "Green Economy Transition Strategy" through 2030, which targeted 15 GW of renewable capacity and over 30% of renewables in the power mix by 2030.

Uzbekistan CO2 Fuel Combustion/CO2 Emissions
In its updated NDC (2021) and its green transition programme (2022), 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 51% 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 2%/year between 2011 and 2015, have been rising since then (+1%/year), reaching 106 MtCO2 in 2023.
