THE REPORT ON THE COUNTRYElectric powerindustry of theRepublic ofUzbekistan.

 The Power Industry of Uzbekistan operates inthe framework of the State Joint Stock
Company ”Uzbekenergo”, established in the formof open joint stock company including the Coal
Industry enterprises since 2001.
 The company structure includes 53 enterprises
and organizations, including 39 open joint-stockcompanies, 11 unitary enterprises, 2 societies
with limited liability and company branch“Energosotish”.

 The installed capacity of Power Plants ofUzbekistan exceeds 12,3 mln. kW SJSC ”Uzbekenergo”, having the 39 Power

Plants of total installed capacity 12,0 mln. kW
is actually the key producer and supplier ofelectric power in the Republic.

 The Thermal Power Plants of total capacity

10,6mln. kW is the base of the Power
System of Uzbekistan. The power units ofcapacity from 150 to 800 MW each are set
up at 5 big Thermal Power Plants.
 These are such a big Thermal Power Plants
as Talimardjan, Syr-darya, Novo-Angren andTashkent TPP’s generating over 85% ofelectric power.

Structure of installed capacities of power
plants of Uzbekistan All Hydro Power Plants of the company ingeneral are united into cascades of HPP’sand operate based on waterway. The largest
HPPs are located in the upper of Chirchik
river (Charvak HPP, Khodjikent HPP,Gazalkent HPP) and have the water storagebasins allowing to operate in regulation
capacity mode.

 For power generation at TPP’s the gas shareusage is 90,8%, mazut is 5,3% and coal is3,9%. This tendency shall be keeping in thenearest future, gas remains as the main fueland the share of coal increases up to 1012% in fuel balance.

The power transmission and distribution are fulfilled bymeans of power transmission lines of 0,4-500kV to all
consumers of the Republic.
 The extension of power transmission lines are over 235
thousand km. All consumers are connected tocentralized power supply system.
 The arrangement of power transmission lines of 220500kV with 7,5 thousand km extension provides thestable operation of power system, the transmission ofpower from the Power Plants to the load centre, passing
supply of power to the cross-boarder countries.
Structure of electrical networks of sjsc
"uzbekenergo" Within the framework of branch development

program, the construction of power unit No 1 at
Talimardjan TPP of 800 MW was completed in
2005, which commissioning permits to reduce
the transmission power losses.
 In the balance of power generation the operationof Talimardjan TPP provides the reduction of
specific fuel consumption for 8,0 gr/kWh.

 Out of proceeds of the EBRD credits, thereconstruction of two power unit No 7 and No
8 was carried out at Syr-Darya TPP, 300 MW
each unit capacity that allow to restore thedesign output of each unit and reduce thespecific fuel consumption for 40gr/kWh .

 For maintenance of the maximal equation andrationality in use of all kinds of fuel, is stipulated
further reduction of volumes of the gas used onpower stations, with increase in a share of theelectric power manufacturing at a coal.
 With this purpose is planned carrying out ofmodernization of the operative equipment on Novo– Angren TEPS - translation of boilers № 1-5 on
Novo – Angren TEPS to all-the-year-round burningof coal.

In common with, the development of renewable
power generation work is in progress, with priorityof usage of hydro power potential.

 The Program for development of small hydropower industry usable for agriculture had adopted
and is in the progress in the system of Ministry of
Water and Agriculture. According to thisProgram are foreseen the construction of 15 small
HPP’s with total capacity 420 MW and generationof 1,3 bln. KW/h annually.

The government of republic adopted theprogram document determining developmentof electric power industry for the period 20092014, providing realization in total 38
investment projects and as a wholeexpenses for realization of the Program areestimated in size exceeding 3,5 milliard
dollars.

The strategic goals of Power Industry
development of Uzbekistan are the followings:
 Extension of economic reforms, forming anddevelopment of power market;
 Reliable quality power supply of economy andpopulation of the Republic; Technical re-equipment and modernization of existing
power facilities, improvement of production efficiency; Reduction of environmental impact of Power Facilities;
 Further development of integration process within theframework of Interconnected Power System of CentralAsia.
