Uzbekistan is committing $1.3 billion to waste-to-energy projects, aiming to diversify its energy sources and improve waste management in partnership with international companies.
Uzbekistan is strengthening its energy infrastructure by investing $1.3 billion in waste-to-energy (WtE) projects. This initiative is part of a broader strategy aimed at diversifying the country’s energy sources and improving solid waste management. By collaborating with international companies, the Uzbek government seeks to modernize its energy sector while addressing environmental challenges related to waste accumulation.
The waste-to-energy projects will process around 4.7 million metric tons of solid waste annually. This operation is expected to generate 2.1 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity by 2027. While this production represents a modest portion of Uzbekistan’s total annual energy production, which currently exceeds 70 billion kWh, it marks a significant step towards diversifying energy sources and improving waste management.
