Uzbekistan saved 15.76 million cubic meters of natural gas through the use of renewable energy sources. These figures for November 12, 2026, were published by the country’s Ministry of Energy. Over the course of the day, 266.1 million kWh of electricity were generated in the republic, of which 59.1 million kWh, or 22.2%, were provided by solar, wind, and hydroelectric power plants, as well as small solar installations.
In addition to saving fuel, the use of alternative energy helped prevent the emission of 33.9 thousand tons of harmful substances into the atmosphere. The ministry emphasized that the output of solar and wind power plants directly depends on weather conditions. In the absence of sufficient sunlight or with light wind, production volumes can drop noticeably, which is why daily indicators vary significantly.
The Ministry of Energy believes that a further increase in the share of renewable sources will enable more efficient use of natural gas, reduce the environmental footprint, and strengthen the country’s energy security. Every kilowatt-hour generated by solar, wind, and hydroelectric power plants decreases the need for generation based on conventional fuel.
