Records by technology

Counts records, not generation share · coverage & dates

Reported capacity is the rated size of the listed installations, not electricity being produced now. Source dates and coverage differ, so newer facilities may be absent and historical records may remain.

How electricity works in Uzbekistan

Single buyerOne state buyer, private generators

Gas supplies most power. A state company buys the output of power plants, including new private solar and wind farms under long-term contracts, and resells it to the regional networks.

  1. GenerationState utility + private producers
  2. TransmissionOne state buyer
  3. DistributionUtility networks
  4. CustomersRegulated tariffs

Who regulates

No separate independent regulator is listed: the government or the utility itself sets tariffs and technical rules.

Who controls the grid

State companies Thermal Power Plants, National Electric Grid and Regional Electric Networks run the system.

Markets & power exchanges

No open power exchange: producers sell to the single buyer under long-term contracts.

Regional grid

Not part of a larger synchronous grid or regional power pool.

What does “Single buyer” mean?

Independent power producers build plants and sell their output under long-term contracts to one designated state buyer, usually the national utility, which runs the grid and sells to consumers.
