What is Uzbekistan's solar energy vision?

It outlines the sustainable energy environment solar energy could deliver and offers a timeline up to 2030. In this vision, Uzbekistan succeeds in maximising the benefits of solar energy capacity for both electricity and heat, making solar energy one of the country’s major energy sources.

What is solar energy potential in Uzbekistan?

The solar energy gross potential totals 2 134 x 10 3 PJ, while technical potential is estimated at411 7 PJ, which is equivalent to almost four times the country’s current primary energy consumption (Table 1). Table 1 Renewable energy source potential in Uzbekistan

What is Uzbekistan's solar energy roadmap?

This roadmap primarily focuses on increasing solar generation in Uzbekistan's electricity mix, but also touchesupon solar heat potential to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels. The roadmap aims to help Uzbekistan formulate its strategies and plans for solar energy deployment across all levels of government.

Will Uzbekistan be able to deploy solar energy by 2030?

After discussing the possible barriers to the deployment of solar energy in Uzbekistan, the report presents a roadmap for solar energy by 2030. It provides examples of international best practices in solar energy deployment from IEA member and ssociation a countries.

Can floating solar PV increase solar PV capacity in Uzbekistan?

For comparison, the area of the hydropower reservoirs are more than 15 times the sizef the world o largest solar park in India, which has’s an installed capacity of 2.25GW. In this regard, the potential of floating solar PV on the hydropower reservoirs is a realistic opportunity to further increase solar PV capacity in Uzbekistan (Box 2).
