Uzbekistan Targets 54% Green Energy Share by 2030 to Power European Exports
Uzbekistan plans to increase its share of green energy from 30% to 54% by 2030. President Shavkat Mirziyoyev announced the ambitious target during the Asian Development Bank Board of Governors meeting.
The head of state revealed that the country has already launched 5,600 megawatts of alternative energy capacity in collaboration with international partners.
Mirziyoyev highlighted the region’s massive renewable energy potential and praised the bank for backing a new green energy corridor linking Central Asia to Europe. Work on this major export project is scheduled to begin shortly.
This initiative builds upon a joint venture signed last summer between Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan. Following initial agreements established in late 2024, the three nations are actively collaborating to export clean electricity to European markets.
To achieve this, the cross-border project involves laying a high-voltage transmission cable across the bottom of the Black Sea from Baku. This vital infrastructure will physically connect Central Asian power grids directly with European consumers.
