State policy priorities in power sector
by «Basic directions of power strategy
in Uzbekistan for the period till 2010», submited in 1995:- steady maintenance of all sectors of economy with fuel and energy resources
with priority maintenance of social needs by creation of reliable raw-materialbase and support of strategically important branches, sufficient development ofextracting, processing, transport and distributive power systems;- increase of efficiency of use of power resources and creation of necessary
conditions for realisation the energy saving measures providing preservation of
power independence of the country and increase of an export potential;- maintenance economically proved diversification of power supply sources in a
direction of increase in a share of coal fuel, use renewable energy sources,development of small water-power engineering;- maintenance of financial stability of power sector and attraction additional
investments;-working out of is standard-legal base and perfection of the financially-tax system
considering features of pricing and mutual relations of power with alliedindustries;-consecutive formation of the competitive environment by a combination of methodsof direct and indirect state regulation of sphere of power, formation of the power

Major difficulties currently
faced in formulating energy policy• structure of managements in power sector does not promoteenergy saving or increase of efficiency using of energy;• the is standard-legal base of energy saving is insufficiently
developed, the Law «About rational use of energy» has nodirect action and demands either revision, or working out
additional certificates;• the infrastructure is already enough obsolete and it needs
sufficient investments for repair or modernisation;• the lack of technologies and investments cause insufficientattention to energy saving projects both in the most power
sector, and in economy as a whole;• competition development in the power markets andparticipation in them of a private sector rather low; such
centralisation deprives of manufacturers of stimulus todecrease in costs.

Policy in energy saving should
be focused on following directions.
- Perfection of tariffs for power supply, improvementof systems of the account of consumption.
– Introduction of market focused control systems ofpower sector.
– Assistance to a wide distribution of the information
about new energy saving technologies.
– Implementation the norms and standards of energy
efficiency in sector of production and energyconsumption.

Subjects you would like to study
in the order of priority and the reason• The effective solutions for institutional reformation inenergy sector to improve energy efficiency. This subject
will provide the opportunity to develop recommendations
to make the corporate structure of the energy sector
conducive to conservation or higher efficiency.
• Creating effective legislation for sustainable energy
policy and transition to green economy. At the moment,
the current legal framework of energy sector is notefficient enough. The course will help to develop
strategy framework for the laws “On renewable energysources”. “On energy efficiency”, special by-laws for the
existing legislation etc.
• Creating effective incentives for energy efficiency andrenewable energy sources. This subject is important todevelop practical recommendations on creating effective
market infrastructure, formulate effective energy rate
policy etc.
