Uzbekistan’s energy sector is currently undergoing a large-scale transition. The key institutions and stakeholders for energy policy making and its implementation are summarised below.  

The Ministry of Energy, established in February 2019, has overall responsibility for the development and implementation of energy policies, plans and programmes, and is authorised to play a central role in implementing renewable energy policy in Uzbekistan. It is also responsible for the regulation and supervision of the production, transmission, distribution and consumption of energy resources including electricity and the functioning of energy sectors, as well as the implementation of production-sharing agreements. Moreover, the ministry takes part in developing energy-related public-private partnerships (PPPs) and plays a role in improving the tariff policy in co-operation with the inter-ministerial tariff council to facilitate the development of a competitive business environment. 

The Ministry of Finance exercises price regulation, including tariff-setting for electricity, and general control over the financial stability of the state sector, among other functions. Moreover, the PPP Development Agency under the Ministry of Finance plays a key role in developing PPPs in co-operation with Ministry of Investment and Foreign Trade and the Ministry of Energy.
