Uzbekistan plans to continue expanding at above-average rates, as the government aims to diversify its economy and increase its export potential.

About a fifth of Uzbekistan’s labour force is employed in agriculture.

The country hopes to attract $3 billion foreign direct investments to build ten solar and wind power plants with a total capacity of about 3,000 megawatts.

The decision to award the consortium the project was based on its offer of $33.67564 per megawatt-hour (MWh), the lowest electricity cost compared with other competing bids.
