Possible barriers to the deployment of solar energy
Possible barriers to the deployment of solar energy in Uzbekistan This section explores barriers that could hamper the deployment of solar
Valuable comments, feedback and input were provided by Bekzod Asadov and Askar Zaitov (the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Uzbekistan), Philippe Malbranche (the International Solar Alliance), Seung Duck Kim (the Asian Development Bank), and Alexander Zenebe (the EU Delegation to Uzbekistan).
For comparison, the area of the hydropower reservoirs are more than 15 times the size of the world's largest solar park in India, which has an installed capacity of 2.25 GW. In this regard, the potential of floating solar PV on the hydropower reservoirs is a realistic opportunity to further increase solar PV capacity in Uzbekistan.
The treatment of end-of-life solar panels is not an urgent issue in Uzbekistan, but it could be worth considering incorporating appropriate policy measures into the regulations early on. After 2025, power system flexibility gradually becomes visible as an issue, with the increase in VRE generation.
Large-scale solar PV projects have been subject to competitive bidding processes in Uzbekistan since 2019 and an awarded project can sign a long-term contract with NEGU at a fixed tariff, as noted above. The government of Uzbekistan also aims to develop small- and medium-scale solar projects.
