Enhancing utilization and minimization of renewable energy systems in uzbekistan

Abstract

Although Uzbekistan has substantial solar and wind energy potential, it faces significant challenges in
expanding renewable energy utilization and improving the efficiency of its power grid. This study examines the current
state of renewable energy adoption and the performance of the power grid using econometric and statistical analyses.
Specifically, multiple regression models are used to identify factors influencing the slow uptake of renewable energy
sources, while time-series forecasting techniques project future trends in the energy mix and grid losses. The results
indicate that renewable energy adoption remains sluggish and the national power grid suffers from high transmission and
distribution losses, significantly undermining overall efficiency. Projections suggest that without stronger interventions,
renewable energy capacity will grow only marginally in coming years and grid inefficiencies will persist, revealing critical
gaps in existing energy policies. These findings underscore the need for accelerated investment in renewable energy
projects, modernization of grid infrastructure, and efficiency improvements to minimize losses. Addressing these issues
is essential for Uzbekistan to meet its future energy demand and achieve its sustainability and energy security goals
