Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) — Uzbekistan generated 248 million kWh of electricity on 7 November 2026, down 11.9 million kWh, or 4.6%, from the same day a year earlier. The decline was primarily attributed to lower electricity demand amid warmer weather, the Ministry of Energy reported.
Thermal power plants accounted for the largest share of generation, producing 190.5 million kWh. This was 11.1% below the 214.4 million kWh generated on 7 November 2025.
Hydropower generation, meanwhile, increased by 20.4% to 17.7 million kWh, compared with 14.7 million kWh a year earlier.
Solar power plants generated 16.9 million kWh, up 9% from 15.5 million kWh in the same period last year.
Wind power recorded the largest relative increase, with output rising by 62.5% to 19.5 million kWh from 12 million kWh a year earlier.
Block stations produced 3.1 million kWh, down 3.1% from 3.2 million kWh a year ago. Generation from small-scale solar panels reached 0.3 million kWh, compared with 0.2 million kWh in 2025, an increase of 50%.
The Energy Ministry explained that the overall decline in generation was linked to reduced electricity consumption. On 7 November 2025, lower temperatures had driven up demand for electricity to heat buildings.
Warmer weather this year contributed to lower consumption.
According to the ministry, electricity consumption on 7 November 2026 was 9.8% lower than on the corresponding day a year earlier.
