Leading scientists and specialists in energy sector and energy saving of the Science Academy, ministries and departments, enterprises and organizations participated at the roundtable.

It was underlined that Uzbekistan created solid scientific and technological base for wide-scale use of renewable energy. Efficiency of the renewable energy was showed on concrete examples. Chairperson of Uzbekenergo presented a conceptual direction of development and use of renewable energy.

He briefed analysis on development of technologies and use of renewable energy, hydro energy, use of water and wind energy, and combine systems of renewable energy. In particular, the wind power facility with the capacity of 750 kWt operates in Charvaq water reservoir, solar energy collectors for production of heating and electricity in Tashkent, Samarkand, Navoi and other regions. Currently, Uzbekistan has over 150 facilities on production of heating and electricity energy based on renewable energy.

The participants noted that there are legal norms, regulating use of renewable energy, but practical work on creation of new, unique and innovation products is not systematic. It was said that it is result of lack of legal base and stimulation of ecologically clean energy. At the same time, low prices for traditional energy makes renewable energy economically unattractive.

In the result of the roundtable, the participants development recommendations directed at use of alternative energy sources, and improving legal base.
