A new record for electricity consumption during the summer period has been set in the energy system. A significant rise in temperature across the country led to a sharp increase in demand for electrical energy.
On July 13, republic-wide electricity consumption reached 278.6 million kWh, setting a new record for the summer season. This was reported by Dildora Khoshimova, head of the Information Service of the Ministry of Energy.
On the same day, power plants generated a total of 281.5 million kWh of electricity. Despite the high level of consumption, consumers were supplied with uninterrupted electricity.
Electricity consumption in the republic on July 13 was 278.6 million kWh, exceeding the highest figure from the previous summer season by 6 million kWh, or 2.2 percent. The previous record was set on July 18, 2025, when 272.6 million kWh was consumed in a day.
It is expected that new records for electricity consumption and load on the energy system may be set soon due to further increases in air temperature. In this regard, energy enterprises have been switched to an enhanced operating mode.
Special repair teams are working in the regions on duty to eliminate possible failures in the power grids as quickly as possible. Nevertheless, it is emphasized that short-term power outages may occur in some areas due to technical malfunctions in the networks.
Dildora Khoshimova called on citizens to use electricity reasonably and sparingly. She noted that reducing the load on the system is possible by turning off unnecessary household appliances, especially during peak hours of electricity network load. This will help maintain the stability of the power supply, ensure reliable system operation, and prevent possible outages.
