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.

Will Uzbekistan reach its maximum capacity of solar energy?

Nevertheless, a more comprehensive set of policies and support mechanisms will be required to reach Uzbekistan’s maximum capacity of solar energy and further increase solar energy toward 2030. The government should consider bundling the range of actions needed to ensure the use of all types of solar energy resources.
