According to industry data, solar power plants provided a generation volume of 1 billion 48 million kWh, while wind power plants produced 245.7 million kWh.
The increase in electricity generation from renewable sources allowed for savings of 344 million cubic meters of natural gas and prevented the emission of 743,000 tons of harmful substances into the atmosphere.
For comparison, in June 2025, the total volume of electricity generation from solar and wind installations was 1 billion 52 million kWh. The volume produced in June is equivalent to the average monthly consumption of approximately 6.5 million households or the annual consumption of 541,000 households.
According to data from the National Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan on Statistics, the total electricity generation in Uzbekistan for the period from January to May 2026 amounted to 36,167.3 million kWh.

However, changes occurred in the production structure. Generation by large enterprises decreased to 24,812.5 million kWh compared to 26,316.5 million kWh the previous year. At the same time, the volume of electricity produced by small enterprises increased to 11,354.8 million kWh, up from 8,747.7 million kWh, indicating the growing significance of small businesses in the country's energy sector.
Regarding thermal energy, production by large enterprises in January-May 2026 decreased to 8,429.8 thousand Gcal, whereas the figure was 10,211.4 thousand Gcal the previous year.

The largest absolute volume of construction work is concentrated in Tashkent, which amounted to 28,025.2 billion soums. It is followed by the Tashkent region with a volume of 10,704.9 billion soums and the Fergana region with a figure of 6,874.8 billion soums.
By type of activity, the construction of buildings and structures accounted for the largest share, making up 70.4% of the total volume and showing a growth of 116.9%. Civil object construction provided 20.1% of the total amount, increasing by 14.0%. The share of specialized construction work was 9.5%, while its volume remained almost unchanged compared to the previous year (99.9%).
Small enterprises and microfirms lead the sector, accounting for 48.5% of the total volume of work, corresponding to an amount of 50,847.5 billion soums and a growth of 111.0%. Large construction organizations contributed 26.1% of the total volume (27,399.8 billion soums), showing an increase of 21.5%. The informal sector accounted for 25.4% (26,696.4 billion soums), increasing by 14.6%.
Among large construction organizations, the largest volumes of work were carried out in Tashkent (9.6 trillion soums), Tashkent region (2.9 trillion soums), and Karakalpakstan Republic (1.9 trillion soums). Overall, the construction industry remains predominantly private, as the non-state sector accounts for 97.9% of the total volume, while the state sector provides only 2.1%.
