Total Energy Consumption

Total energy consumption per capita is about 1.3 toe, while the electricity consumption per capita is around 1 650 kWh (about 65% below the CIS average) (2022).

Total energy consumption dipped by 3.8% in 2022 to 48 Mtoe, back to its 2018 level (it had surged by 10%/year between 2015 and 2018 before decreasing by 3%/year until 2020).

Uzbekistan's energy intensity is among the highest in the world but is decreasing very rapidly (-6%/year since 2000).

Crude Oil Production

Oil production has increased by 4.8%/year since 2020 to 3.9 Mt in 2022. It remained largely stable over 2015-2019 and dipped by 6.5% in 2020.

In 2021, Uzbekistan had a total oil refining capacity of 232 kb/d (11.6 Mt/year) from its three refineries located in Ferghana (108 kb/d), Alty-Arik (66 kb/d), and Bukhara (50 kb/d). They are operated below their capacity, as demand is limited, producing 3.9 Mt of oil products in 2022; only 0.6 Mt of oil products were imported in 2022.

Renewable in % Electricity Production

In the updated NDC (2021), the government plans to build 5 GW of solar, 3 GW of wind, and 1.9 GW of hydropower capacities by 2030 to cover 25% of the power mix (up from 8% in 2021). The government is following up on this roadmap with the construction of several solar and wind parks.

In 2017, the Government launched a state programme to support the development of renewables. According to this programme, the country will invest US$81m and plans to raise US$5.3bn from foreign sources to develop hydro, wind, and solar power by 2025.

CO2 Fuel Combustion/CO2 Emissions

In its updated NDC, the country plans to reduce the carbon intensity of the GDP by 35% by 2030 from 2010 levels; this target is not very ambitious, as in 2021 the carbon intensity was already 51% below its 2010 level. In 2021, it signed an MoU with the EBRD to reach carbon neutrality by 2050 by developing renewables capacities.

CO2 emissions from energy combustion, which decreased by 6.5%/year between 2011 and 2015, have been rising since then (+4%/year), reaching 121 MtCO2 in 2022.
