Current situation: ~14 gigawatts capacity and
~60K GWh generation with gas as the main source
Total installed capacity for power Generation is ~60K GWh with 2/3

• Low efficiency of TPPs. All TPPs run on steam turbine technology with a weight average
efficiency of 33%, compared to 55% for advanced combined-cycle gas turbine technology
• Poor assets condition. Most power generation assets are 40–50 years old, in poor
condition, and require replacement and/or rehabilitation
Power • Power assets are not strategically situated. About 70% of power generation occurs in the
generation
north while over 90% of gas production occurs in the south
• Poor assets condition. Assets have not been properly maintained and upgraded, affecting
the delivery of reliable power supply to domestic customers, especially in the south regions
• High level of losses. Transmission system losses are officially reported at 18% and
distribution losses at 14%. Revenue collection rate is not more than 80% which may be
Power understated because of Uzbekenergo’s inability to collect information on the amount of
transmission
electricity supplied and inability to monitor the revenue collection
• Low tariffs. Uzbekistan’s electricity tariff has been low in absolute terms because of the low
domestic cost of natural gas relative to international prices ($66 per 1,000 m3, which is
substantially lower than its export price). This has discouraged demand-side energy efficiency
improvements.
Regulation
• TPP capacity increase. Several TPPs with additional capacity of 2,5 GW are currently under
construction
• HPP capacity increase. Uzbekistan embarked on the ambitious program of rehabilitation of
old and construction of new HPPs with estimated 27.4M MW/h annual hydropower generation
Power capacity. The plans are to develop 18 new HPPs and modernize 14 existing HPPs till 2025
generation
• Renewable energy. Targeting up to 21% renewable energy by 2031, Uzbekistan also plans to
install at least 4 GW of solar capacity.
• Nuclear generation. In 2018, the government has announced plans to develop a nuclear
power generation starting with two units 1200 MW each.
• New PPs to optimize network. To reduce gas and power transmission losses, CCGT power
plants will be constructed in Talimarjan and Navoi in the south, close to gas fields
• Operational efficiency improvement. To improve the efficiency of dispatch operation and
energy management, a modern and automated supervisory control and data acquisition
Power
transmission system will be developed
