Prices of photovoltaic modules in Uzbekistan

What is a large-scale solar PV project in Uzbekistan?

Large-scale solar PV projects have been subject to competitive bidding processes in Uzbekistan since 2019 and an awarded project can sign a long-term contract with NEGU at a fixed tariff, as noted above. The government of Uzbekistan also aims to develop small- and medium-scale solar projects.

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.

How to make solar energy a key energy source in Uzbekistan?

The policy and regulatory frameworks enabling further solar energy deployment in Uzbekistan. Increasing power system flexibility to integrate the increasing amount of solar generation. Finally, the recommended actions are a co-ordinated package of measures to implement to make solar energy the key energy source in Uzbekistan in 2030 and beyond.

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.

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.

How can Uzbekistan improve the use of solar energy resources?

To enhance the use of solar energy resources in Uzbekistan, we recommend the government consider incorporating, as appropriate, all measures listed in the roadmap into its solar energy strategy toward 2030 and beyond.
