Abstract
This article presents an analytical review of the development of the renewable energy sector in Uzbekistan during the period 2021-2025. The study includes an assessment of investment dynamics, renewable electricity generation, and the implementation of large-scale solar and wind power projects, along with an analysis of the regulatory framework and state support mechanisms. The results reveal a significant increase in investment and clean energy production, contributing to the reduction of environmental impacts, creation of new jobs, and strengthening of the country’s energy security. A comparative analysis with international practices is conducted, identifying both internal and external barriers to sectoral development and proposing policy recommendations aimed at improving the effectiveness of government support, infrastructure expansion, and the integration of innovative technologies. The article also explores the social and environmental implications of renewable energy deployment and outlines the growth prospects of the sector up to 2030. The scientific analysis indicates that further development requires enhanced state support through the establishment of long-term tariff mechanisms, expansion of financial instruments (e.g., green bonds, joint financing funds), and the adoption of energy storage innovations and digital management systems. Furthermore, international cooperation and knowledge exchange are identified as key drivers for accelerating progress. The findings confirm Uzbekistan’s high potential in the field of green energy and emphasize the necessity of systemic reforms to achieve strategic objectives for sustainable development and climate neutrality. The outcomes of this research can serve as a scientific and policy foundation for national energy programs, academic studies, and investment strategies in the renewable energy domain.
