Transition to alternative sources of electricity supply: diversifying the energy strategy in the Republic of Uzbekistan

Abstract

In today’s world, the problem of energy security is becoming increasingly important. The issue of increasing energy independence and diversification of energy supply sources is becoming an important component of this problem. Transition from classical to alternative energy sources allows not only to reduce dependence on external suppliers, but also to improve the environmental situation. The article is devoted to analyzing the process of transition to alternative sources of electric energy in the Republic of Uzbekistan. In the conditions of constantly growing demand for electricity and irreversible depletion of natural resources, the importance of this topic can hardly be overestimated. The purpose of this study is to examine the theoretical and practical aspects of this transition, including not only changes in the energy sector, but also socio-economic, technological and environmental consequences of these changes for the country.
