STRATEGIC THEME I. IMPROVING ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE AND WATER RESOURCE 

MANAGEMENT 

National Priorities:  Energy efficiency; improved environmental management; private sector development; 

Improved water use. 

Issues and Obstacles:  Energy: low quality of electricity supply; high-energy usage per unit of GDP productivity; 

high losses in supply chain; lack of private investment; double-landlocked nature of Uzbekistan affects its 

competiveness; inefficient use of water resources for irrigation; inadequate meteorological, climate, and 

hydrological information for decision making. 

Improved energy sector 

reliability as seen through 

reduction of outages in 

South West Uzbekistan.  

 

Baseline: 92 hours per 

year 

Target: 48 hours per year, 

and Government adoption 

of strategic plan for the 

energy sector. 

Achieved: Construction of 

218 km of 500kV 

transmission line 

connecting Talimarjan 

Power Plant with Sogdiana 

substation and transmission 

line Guzar-Karakul was 

completed. Electricity 

outages reduced from 92 to 

48 hrs. At the level of the 

strategic plan for energy 

sector, WBG provided 

significant advice through a 

number of analytical and 

sector works. 

 

IFC Investment: A 

Mandate Letter was 

submitted to Uzelectroset 

Company in October 2014. 

However, based on the 

worsening of the financial 

situation of the power 

sector of in Uzbekistan, 

IFC and the Government 

decided to put this project 

on hold (amounts of 

accounts 

receivables/accounts 

payables significantly 

increased and important 

investments were required).
