Electricity production in Uzbekistan increased by 6.38%
The Ministry of Energy of Uzbekistan has published a report on the results of 2025. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
According to it, the volume of energy production in the country increased by 6.38%, rising from 81.5 billion kilowatt-hours to 86.7 billion kilowatt-hours. This was reported by upl.uz.
In particular, the volume of electricity supplied to consumers grew even faster than production. This indicator increased by 14%, reaching 77 billion kilowatt-hours.
System efficiency has also improved: the difference between production and supply decreased from 14 billion kilowatt-hours to 9.6 billion kilowatt-hours. Due to the increasing processes of industrialization and urbanization in the country, the number of consumers is also growing.
The number of residential consumers increased by 3.2%, reaching 8.21 million, while the number of legal entities in the business sector grew by 7.4%, reaching 519.7 thousand. In 2025, diversifying energy sources became one of the main directions.
The volume of energy produced based on hydroelectric power plants and other renewable sources increased by 29%, amounting to 16.8 billion kilowatt-hours. Renewable energy sources began to cover 20% of the country's needs.
Especially significant growth was observed in the solar and wind energy sectors: production in this area increased 2.1 times, reaching 10.5 billion kilowatt-hours for the first time. Thanks to alternative energy sources, 3.2 billion cubic meters of natural gas were saved, and emissions of 4.7 million tons of harmful gases into the atmosphere were prevented.
During the year, 42 new facilities were launched, with a total capacity of 4647 megawatts. Among them are 5 photovoltaic power plants, 4 wind parks, and 10 energy storage systems.
Additionally, a thermal power plant with a capacity of 1065 megawatts and 2 cogeneration units also started operations. Infrastructure modernization works were actively carried out.
Throughout the year, 2050 kilometers of electric transmission networks and 285 kilometers of gas networks were constructed. Also, 787 kilometers of main and 30 thousand kilometers of distribution networks were overhauled.
More than 10 thousand transformer points and several substations were updated. As a result, the quality of energy supply improved in 954 neighborhoods.
This covered more than 800 thousand households. Also, during the year, 2.7 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity and 2 billion cubic meters of gas were saved.
It is noted that Uzbekistan has an average of more than 300 sunny days per year, creating favorable conditions for increasing the efficiency of solar panels.
