This market report offers an incisive and reliable long-term overview of the photovoltaic sector of the country for the period 2023 ÷ 2032. In view of recent cuts in FITs announced in Germany, Spain, France, the UK, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Greece and Italy, the Republic of Uzbekistan represents a stable investment environment in the CIS region with clear rules and auction (tender) procedure. The current cumulative installed PV capacity in the country is insignificant, but the number of solar projects will promptly increase in 2023 and the following years.
First, large-scale solar photovoltaic power projects have been launched into exploitation, whilst the over 730 MW solar project pipeline is progressing in different stages of the permitting process. The auction (tender) procedure for solar energy in Uzbekistan is expected to pave the way for the country's fast growth of the solar PV market. The report provides a complete picture of the market situation, dynamics, current issues and future prospects.
You will find more than 120 pages of valuable information in this unique, in-depth analysis of the Uzbekistan solar photovoltaic market. You will receive an overview of how COVID-19 (Coronavirus) will impact it. With comprehensive market data, this report brings clear and concise insights to help investors in their decision-making process. As 2022 was a challenging year for the world photovoltaic industry, the time for making the right decisions during 2023 and the next few years is limited.
