Abstract
This note focuses on the energy and
power sector in Uzbekistan with the purpose of identifying
some of the key issues faced by the sector and outlining
potential solutions. In particular, the note aims to inform
the Government thinking by providing input on priorities in
the sector. The note also outlines potential solutions the
Government may want to consider to address the identified
challenges in the short and longer time and highlights the
areas where the Government can start acting immediately. The
analysis is based on the information and data provided by
the Government during preparation of the Bank's
investment lending operations, other analytical work as well
as data/information collected from public sources. The note
is structured as follows: section one discusses the
importance of the energy sector to the economy and provides
an overview of the sector. Section two provides a more
detailed overview of the power sector. Section three
identifies the principal challenges in the power sector.
Section four proposes potential solutions to address these
challenges. Finally, section five outlines a potential role
for the World Bank in supporting the Government to address
power sector challenges.
