Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — As of 12:00 PM on 10 June 2025, Uzbekistan’s solar and wind power plants had generated 4 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity since the start of the year, according to the Ministry of Energy.

Currently, Uzbekistan operates 11 photovoltaic solar power plants with a total installed capacity of 4,067 megawatts across 10 regions, along with 3 wind farms that contribute to the country’s production of “green” energy.

Following the grid connection of the first solar power plants in the Navoi and Samarkand regions in 2022, the country generated 434 million kWh of solar electricity that year. This figure rose to 576.9 million kWh in 2023.

In 2024, total electricity output from nine solar and one wind power plant operating in seven regions reached 4.86 billion kWh.

On 12 May 2025, it was reported that solar and wind power plants had generated 3 billion kWh of electricity since the beginning of the year. Just 29 days later, this figure reached 4 billion kWh as of 10 June, meaning that on average, the solar and wind facilities have been producing approximately 34.5 million kWh of electricity per day.

Of the total 4 billion kWh generated this year, 2.4331 billion kWh were produced by solar power plants, while 1.5669 billion kWh came from wind farms.

This output has led to the saving of approximately 1.212 billion cubic meters of natural gas and has prevented the emission of more than 2.42 million tonnes of carbon dioxide, 1,450 tonnes of nitrogen oxide, 18.2 tonnes of sulfur dioxide, and 484 tonnes of carbon monoxide into the atmosphere.

Additionally, as of 12:00 PM on 10 June, the combined output of all hydropower, solar, and wind power plants in Uzbekistan since the beginning of 2025 totaled 6.93 billion kWh. This accounts for 18.9 percent of the country’s total electricity generation for the year to date.

Thanks to this renewable output, Uzbekistan has avoided the consumption of 2.11 billion cubic meters of natural gas and the release of over 4.205 million tonnes of carbon dioxide, 2,520 tonnes of nitrogen oxide, 31.5 tonnes of sulfur dioxide, and 840 tonnes of carbon monoxide.

The generated volume of renewable electricity is equivalent to the standard five-month consumption of 6.93 million households or the annual consumption of approximately 2,887,500 households.
