Uzbekistan double-glass photovoltaic modules

What are solar energy projects in Uzbekistan?

Solar energy projects in Uzbekistan can be divided by their size and owner structure into small- scale private photovoltaic installations (including solar collectors) and large-scale RES projects. For the development of these two project types different support schemes and mechanisms exist and will be discussed below.

Are large grid-connected PV power plants economically attractive in Uzbekistan?

Large grid-connected PV power plants and their economic attractiveness in the current conditions in Uzbekistan can be assessed based on the currently existing public support schemes for such projects and the declared tariffs for the purchase of solar energy from such power plants.

How much solar energy does Uzbekistan produce a year?

Uzbekistan has 320 sunny days per year and the potential for solar energy production is estimated to be around 50.9 billion tons of oil equivalent. The country’s total PV potential varies mostly between 1,400 and 2,000 kWh/m2 per year .

Will Uzbekistan produce 5GW of solar power in 2020-2030?

ends - Notes to editors In accordance with the Concept Note for ensuring electricity, supply in Uzbekistan in 2020-2030 in the next 10 years up to 5GW of cost-effective and environment-friendly utility scale solar generation will be generated to meet the increasing demand for electricity in the country.

Does Uzbekistan have a solar market?

In addition, Uzbekistan's regulatory framework targets other private PV consumers as well but the cheap grid electricity combined with a still underdeveloped climate consciousness in the region have hindered the market growth of PV in this segment.

Which power plants are operated in Uzbekistan?

"TPP" JSC operates all thermal power plants in Uzbekistan, of which the largest are: Syrdarya TPP (3 GW), Tashkent TPP (1.86 GW), Novo-Angren TPP (2.1 GW) and Navoi TPP (1.72 GW). "Uzbekhydroenergo" manages all hydropower plants in the country with a total installed capacity of 1.85 GW .
