For a long time, areas across Uzbekistan faced challenges in delivering reliable electricity. In the Karakalpakstan and Khorezm regions, outdated infrastructure and network constraints often caused energy losses and interruptions, affecting homes, businesses, and essential services.  

That picture changed because of the Uzbekistan Power Transmission Improvement Project. Supported by major investments to strengthen the power transmission network, the initiative built a 220‑kilovolt transmission line stretching more than 360 kilometers, while expanding and rehabilitating key substations.  

Implementing the project involved constructing transmission lines across vast, difficult terrain; modernizing key power facilities; and building the capacity of the institutions managing the grid.  These infrastructure upgrades have stabilized the electricity supply in northwestern Uzbekistan, reducing transmission losses and ensuring that power moves smoothly to where it is needed most. 

What does this mean for the country today? The electricity supply is becoming more stable and efficient, with reduced transmission losses and improved system performance. For communities and businesses, this means more reliable access to power, which is essential for daily life and economic activity. Reliable electricity helps businesses operate more efficiently, supports essential public services, and creates better conditions for investment and economic growth.
