Summary
Uzbekistan’s solar and wind plants produced 6 billion kWh of electricity since the start of 2026, according to the Energy Ministry.
Solar plants accounted for 3.8 billion kWh and wind farms 2.2 billion kWh, lifting renewable power generation 24.3% from the same period in 2025.
That increase saved 1.6 billion cubic meters of natural gas, underscoring how faster renewable output is easing pressure on conventional fuel use.
Uzbekistan is also expanding its broader clean-energy base: hydropower plants rose to 100 in 2025 from 36 in 2017, with capacity increasing to 2.4 GW from 1.6 GW.
The gains come as Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan plan to start exporting green energy to Europe by 2030.
