Uzbekistan Generates 5 Bn kWh of Green Energy in H1 2025
As of July 6, 2025, Uzbekistan’s solar and wind power plants have generated a combined 5 bn kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity since the beginning of the year, the Ministry of Energy reports.
At present, 11 solar photovoltaic stations and 4 wind power stations with are installed. Their total capacity reaches 4,119 megawatts (MW). They are operating across 10 regions of Uzbekistan.
The latest figures show a significant increase from previous years. In 2022, following the grid connection of the first solar plants in Navoi and Samarkand, the country produced 434 mln kWh of green electricity. This rose to nearly 577 mln kWh in 2023. By the end of last year, nine solar and one wind power plant operating across seven regions had produced a total of 4.86 bn kWh.
This year’s output crossed the 4 bn kWh mark on June 10. In less than a month, that figure has climbed to 5 bn kWh—an average daily generation of 26.7 mln kWh.
Of this year’s green energy total:
- 3.125 bn kWh came from solar power
- 1.915 bn kWh was generated by wind power
Environmental Impact
This surge in renewable electricity production has led to substantial environmental benefits:
- 1.515 bn cubic metres of natural gas saved
- Over 2.22 mln tonnes of harmful emissions prevented
When combined with hydroelectric output, Uzbekistan’s solar, wind and hydro stations have jointly generated 8.736 bn kWh of electricity so far in 2025. This accounts for 20.3% of the country’s total generation.
The broader renewable energy mix has saved:
- 2.647 bn cubic metres of natural gas
- Prevented 3.879 mln tonnes of emissions
This amount of green energy is equivalent to meeting the six-month electricity needs of 7.28 mln households, or powering 3.64 mln homes for an entire year.
Kursiv also reports that Uzbekistan has been highlighted in the Sustainable Development Report 2025 as one of the countries that has advanced more rapidly than many of its peers in implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
