Tashkent:Uzbekistan reported a significant rise in its daily power generation, reaching 249.9 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) on November 2, 2026. This marks an increase of 21.8 million kWh, or 9.6%, compared to the 228.1 million kWh generated on the same day in 2025.

According to Trend News Agency, the Ministry of Energy of Uzbekistan indicated that thermal power plants remained the largest contributors to the country's electricity supply, producing 204.9 million kWh. This figure represents a 12.9% increase from the previous year's 181.5 million kWh.

Hydropower plants generated 18.6 million kWh, which is a 50% increase from the 12.4 million kWh recorded on November 2, 2025. Solar power plants also showed significant growth, producing 22 million kWh, up 59.4% from 13.8 million kWh.

In contrast, wind power generation experienced a substantial decline of 93.7%, falling to 1.1 million kWh compared to 17.5 million kWh the previous year. Block stations generated 3 million kWh, reflecting a 7.1% rise from 2.8 million kWh, while small-scale solar panels produced 0.3 million kWh, a 50% increase from 0.2 million kWh in the same period last year.

Trend News Agency's calculations revealed that on November 2, thermal power plants accounted for approximately 82% of total electricity generation. Solar and hydropower contributed 8.8% and 7.4%, respectively, while wind power represented about 0.4%.

Compared to November 1, total electricity generation increased by 1.3 million kWh, or around 0.5%, with thermal power rising by 1.7 million kWh, or 0.8%. Hydropower output saw a 1.1 million kWh, or 6.3%, increase, and solar generation edged up by 0.5 million kWh, or 2.3%. Wind power output decreased by 2 million kWh, or roughly 64.5%, from 3.1 million kWh on November 1. Generation at block stations and small-scale solar installations remained constant at 3 million kWh and 0.3 million kWh, respectively.

The combined output of solar and hydropower plants reached 40.6 million kWh on November 2, up 4.1% from 39 million kWh a day earlier, increasing their combined share of total electricity generation from approximately 15.7% to 16.2%.
