It is planned to allocate $1 billion for the introduction of renewable energy sources in the capital of Uzbekistan, the president said. Solar panels will be installed in buildings and other facilities. The state will be guaranteed to buy surplus energy from the population and businesses.
It is planned to allocate $1 billion for the introduction of renewable energy sources in Tashkent, Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev said at a meeting in the capital on Wednesday, his spokesman Sherzod Asadov said.
The head of state noted that the demand for electricity and natural gas is constantly growing in the city. According to him, calculations have been made to solve problems in the energy sector in the capital. First of all, it is planned to use the potential of renewable energy.
In particular, it is proposed to install solar panels with a total capacity of 2,000 MW in the city. They can cover the roofs of multi-story buildings, social facilities, buildings of government agencies and private enterprises, industrial zones, parking lots, and large water structures.
Thanks to this, according to calculations, the expected demand for energy in the amount of 240 million kWh in 2023 can be covered by more than 4 times, generating 1.08 billion kWh of energy.
According to the data announced at the meeting, 400 million kWh of energy is planned to be generated by installing solar panels in industrial zones and large enterprises, and 75 million kWh - at social facilities and government buildings.
It is planned to build a large solar power plant with a capacity of 500 MW in the Yukorichirchik district of the Tashkent region.
It is planned to reduce electricity losses by 1% and increase energy efficiency by 3% at the capital's manufacturing enterprises.
In 1817 multi-story residential buildings, it is planned to completely renovate the heating system.
Due to the renovation of 300 km of main heating networks, heat losses are expected to be reduced by 5%.
Shavkat Mirziyoyev said that the state would be guaranteed to purchase electricity generated by enterprises (from this year) and the population (from next year).
He emphasized the importance of abandoning the state monopoly in electricity production and creating a competitive environment.
The population is offered to pay 1,000 soums for each kW of energy received from solar panels and given to the state as surplus (the current tariff is 295 soums).
Monthly calculations will be made, and the money will be transferred to the owner of the house on a plastic card, the President noted
In Tashkent, it is planned to allocate 390 billion soums for the installation of solar panels in 1,063 organizations financed from the budgets of the city and districts (kindergartens, schools, hospitals, budgetary organizations). This is provided for by the decision of the capital's council of people's deputies of February 20
A solar photovoltaic station with a capacity of 630 kW was launched on the territory of the Cabinet of Ministers of Uzbekistan in Tashkent. It is capable of generating more than 1.1 million kWh of electricity per year, the press service of the Ministry of Energy reported.
On June 10, a video conference meeting was held under the leadership of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan on expanding the use of renewable energy sources. President of the United States, that the time has come to transfer all buildings of ministries, administrations, and mahallas to alternative energy. To ensure the implementation of this task, solar panels with a total capacity of 150 kW were installed on the roof of the regional administration building. This station, built by Solara LLC, has 4 inverters and 334 monocrystalline solar panels with a nominal power of 450 W. generation of 341 thousand kW of electricity per year and emission of 1.1 tons of harmful substances into the atmosphere.
