Uzbekistan strives to become the leading country in Central Asia in the field of renewable energy. The Energy Ministry said earlier this year it has decided to reconsider its initial 2030 power capacity targets by increasing the share of renewables in the country's energy mix. The PV solar plant capacity may be increased from the current forecast of 5 GW to 7 GW and wind power generation from 3 GW to 5 GW.
