Uzbekistan's green energy output reaches 9.1 billion kWh

Uzbekistan produced 9.1 billion kWh of green energy in January–August 2026. Over the past four years, the development of this sector has helped save more than 6.5 billion cubic metres of natural gas and prevent the release of over 14.5 million tonnes of harmful gases into the atmosphere.

Growth in renewable energy output comes amid large-scale reforms in the country's fuel and energy sector. The industry is attracting direct foreign investment, while the energy system is focused on expanding the use of green sources, digitalization and greater efficiency. Output stood at 434 million kWh in 2022, compared with 9.1 billion kWh in the first eight months of 2026.

The Solar House programme is also accelerating. Since 2021, the state has bought surplus electricity generated by solar panels in households. In 2024, more than 10,000 citizens received payments for the electricity they supplied, totalling 12.1 million sums. In January–June 2026, the number of recipients rose to nearly 70,000, and total payments reached 330.8 billion sums.
