According to Podrobno.uz, Uzbekistan plans to increase the total capacity of wind power plants in the country to more than 10 gigawatts by 2030. Under identical conditions, wind power plants in Uzbekistan can produce approximately 1.4 times more electricity than solar power plants.
The difference is due to the operating duration at full capacity. On average, wind power plants in Uzbekistan can operate for about 3.2 thousand hours per year, compared to approximately 2.3 thousand hours for solar stations. Consequently, at the same capacity of 1 megawatt, a wind plant can generate about 1.4 times more electricity over a year than a solar facility.
The Ministry of Energy noted that developing wind power plants will help diversify electricity generation sources and increase the share of renewable energy. As of June 2026, the share of renewable energy in Uzbekistan reached 45 %, compared to 33.6 % a year earlier.
