Uzbekistan ramps up green initiatives for 2025, focusing on renewable energy, efficiency, and sustainability. Plans include 16 new power plants, $300M in funding, and planting 200M trees annually under the "Yashil Makon" program.
Uzbekistan's President Shavkat Mirziyoyev discussed the draft State Program "Year of Environmental Protection and Green Economy," as reported by UzDaily. The program reflects Uzbekistan’s efforts to combat climate change and transition to a green economy.
More than 60,000 homes now have solar panels, while the "Yashil Makon" program continues annual greening initiatives and promotes water resource efficiency.
Declared the Year of Environmental Protection and Green Economy, 2025 will see increased green energy efforts. The share of renewables in Uzbekistan’s energy mix, currently at 16%, is expected to reach 26% by 2025, with plans to build 16 more solar and wind plants, five major hydropower stations, and energy storage systems.
Solar panel installations on homes and enterprises will continue, supported by $153.1 million in loans.
Energy efficiency and resource savings goals include reducing costs by 15-20%, increasing added value, and maintaining 6% economic growth with a GDP exceeding $125 billion. The program also focuses on green technologies, with plans for 15% of production and infrastructure projects to be environmentally friendly by 2025, rising to 55% by 2030.
$300 million will be secured from international financial organizations, and equipment worth $4 billion will be produced locally to increase the green component in major projects.
Environmental efforts under the "Yashil Makon" initiative include planting 200 million trees annually, creating green areas across 2 million hectares, and establishing new forestry enterprises to grow 123 million saplings.
An online platform, "Yashil Olam," will facilitate sapling sales. Green entrepreneurs using eco-friendly equipment and materials will receive certifications and support for market expansion.
