In June 2026, Uzbekistan increased electricity generation at large-scale solar and wind power stations by 22.9 per cent compared with the same month last year, reflecting the ongoing expansion of renewable energy capacity.
This is according to data from the Uzbek Ministry of Energy.
In June, solar and wind power stations generated a total of 1.29 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity, which is 241.2 million kWh more than in June 2025.
The bulk of this came from solar power stations, which generated 1.05 billion kWh, whilst wind power stations accounted for 245.7 million kWh.
“By way of comparison: in June 2025, solar and wind power stations together generated 1.052 billion kWh of electricity,” the ministry’s statement said.
According to the ministry, the increase in electricity generation from renewable sources enabled the country to save around 344 million cubic metres of natural gas over the course of the month.
Furthermore, the increase in generation prevented the release of approximately 743,000 tonnes of harmful substances into the atmosphere.
The ministry noted that the volume of electricity generated by solar and wind power stations in June was sufficient to cover the average monthly consumption of around 6.5 million households, or the annual consumption of approximately 541,000 households.
