Results and discussions
Uzbekistan used to be the members of the USSR, and after its disintegration they embarked on the path of independence. During the 1990s, they were hit by crises in all areas, energy system was not good in all central Asian countries at that time, but year by year they are getting well, followed by gradual consolidation when each country chose its own path of development. To this end, each country defined certain policies for the energy sector development, which is the subject of this part of the analysis, where 2020 is the last year for which the sources were considered.
Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan has been implementing large-scale reforms in recent years to strengthen its energy industry. Problems are associated with high wear and tear on equipment as well as with the slow pace of infrastructure updates, faulty equipment operations, inadequate installations, and both gas pipelines and power lines that have exceeded their service life. The country’s unstable financial situation and inadequate introduction of resource- and energy-saving technologies have raised technological losses and made fuel and energy resource supply interruptions more frequent. In Uzbekistan fossil fuel is main source to produce electricity. In the following table 8 [16], we have illustrated the electricity consumption in Uzbekistan by sectors in 2019.
