Renewable Energy as a Key Factor for Sustainable Development in Uzbekistan

Abstract

Uzbekistan currently relies almost entirely on oil and gas for its energy resources. However, it has massive potential for solar energy, with short-run viability particularly for adoption of solar hot water and solar thermal. Wind power potential is also strong. In this chapter policies are discussed which will promote the rapid adoption of renewable energy in Uzbekistan.
