Global GridUzbekistan's energy mix and electricity
🇺🇿 In 2025, Uzbekistan generated 86.7 TWh of electricity. The largest source was gas at 72%, followed by solar (7.5%) and hydro (7.3%). In total, 19% came from low-carbon sources (nuclear and renewables) and 81% from fossil fuels.
On average, each kilowatt hour produced about 1,000 grams of carbon dioxide (CO₂), far above the world average of 458 grams in 2025. That makes Uzbekistan the 157th cleanest of 158 countries that generate at least 1 TWh a year.
Electricity demand was 89.6 TWh. Uzbekistan imported 2.93 TWh more electricity than it exported, equal to 3.3% of its demand.
Since 2000, electricity generation has grown by 85%, from 46.9 TWh. The low-carbon share went from 8% to 20%. The biggest rise was in solar, from 0% to 8% of generation. The biggest fall was in oil and other fossil fuels, from 10% to 2%. Carbon intensity fell from 1,104 to 1,000 grams per kWh.

Total energy mix in 2024
Electricity is only part of the energy Uzbekistan uses: fuel for transport, heating and industry counts too. In 2024, Uzbekistan used 696 TWh of energy in all (primary energy). The largest source was gas at 79%, followed by oil (9.6%) and coal (7.1%). Fossil fuels made up 95% and low-carbon sources (nuclear and renewables) 4.6%.
- Gas 79%
- Oil 9.6%
- Coal 7.1%
- Hydro 2.9%
- Solar 1.5%
- Wind 0.2%

Primary energy, with nuclear and renewable electricity counted as the fuel a power station would need to make it (the "substitution method"). Here "other renewables" is the Energy Institute's "geothermal, biomass and other" power generation, and biofuels are liquid fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel.

Energy security score
Moderate. Uzbekistan ranks 106th of 158 countries and 30th of 46 in Asia. The score shows how well a country could keep electricity affordable and on if fuel supplies were disrupted.
| Measure | Score |
|---|---|
| Produces its own energy In 2024, Uzbekistan produced energy equal to 72% of all the energy it used (100% or more scores full marks). | 72 |
| Variety of power sources How evenly generation is spread across nine sources. The largest, gas, made 72%. | 52 |
| Little reliance on imported power Net imports were 3.3% of demand; each 1% takes off 2 points. | 93 |
| Low-carbon power Nuclear and renewables made 19% of generation. | 19 |
| Low gas and oil use Gas and oil made 74% of generation; the score is 100 minus that share. | 26 |
The five measures are weighted 30%, 20%, 20%, 15% and 15%. How the score works.
Oil and gas pipelines
Global Energy Monitor lists 24,746 km of oil and gas pipelines operating in Uzbekistan, 0 km being built and 0 km proposed (lengths measured along the mapped routes; a pipeline crossing borders counts in full for each country).
