Renewable Energy Consumption: Uzbekistan

Analysis# Uzbekistan Renewable Energy Consumption Uzbekistan's renewable energy consumption stood at 1% of total energy in 2021, reflecting a significant decline from its peak of 1.7% in 1996. Since 1990, the country has experienced a 23.1% overall decrease in renewable energy's share of its energy mix. The all-time low of 0.7% occurred in 2000, marking the trough before a modest recovery in subsequent years. Recent volatility characterizes Uzbekistan's renewable energy trajectory. From 2015 to 2019, the share fluctuated between 1.5% and 1.7%, suggesting stabilization at higher levels. However, a sharp drop in 2020 to 1% persisted through 2021, coinciding with broader energy sector shifts. This downward momentum indicates Uzbekistan remains heavily dependent on traditional energy sources, with renewables occupying a marginal position in the national energy portfolio.
