Due to rising temperatures in recent days, there has been an increase in electricity consumption, which is already setting historical records. According to the Ministry of Energy data, nearly 279 million kilowatt-hours were consumed in a single day.
Furthermore, specialists predict that new consumption records exceeding one million kilowatt-hours will be reached. Questions arise about the readiness of the electrical system for such a load and the pressure exerted on the grid due to intensive use of air conditioners.
Dildora Khashimova, Head of the Public Relations Department of the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Uzbekistan, as well as an advisor on information policy, provided detailed information regarding what the public needs to know and whether the system can withstand further intensification of the heat.
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.
A working group established to ensure the fulfillment of tasks set out in the Ministry of Mahakomato of the Republic of Uzbekistan's plan for the first half of 2026 inspected measures related to employment and family support.
Initially, the activities of the Center for Employment Provision and Women's Health Promotion in the settlement of Sarabiy were examined, which operates under the execution of the Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated December 3, 2025, 'On Additional Measures to Support Women.' Detailed information was heard at the center regarding ongoing work on ensuring women's employment, their professional training, and health promotion.
In addition, the working group familiarized itself with the employment of women and working conditions at LLC 'Daf Export Group,' as well as production processes.
The Resolution of the Ministry of Mahakomato of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated May 19, 2026, 'On Measures for Further Improving the System of Youth Preparation for Family Life and Creating Family Counseling Services,' is of great importance for improving the moral and ethical environment in families, forming responsible parenting skills through educational programs for maternity preparation and improving the system of youth preparation for family life, as well as providing legal and psychological services.
As part of the implementation of this resolution, the Family and Women's Center located in the settlement of Ellikqala was visited. Events aimed at supporting families and providing consulting services were discussed there.
Afterward, the working group visited LLC 'Bo'ston Silk.' The work conducted at the enterprise on developing animal husbandry, livestock breeding, and increasing network efficiency was studied, and the conditions provided to employees were reviewed.
During the visit, comprehensive information was provided about the work being carried out in the region in these areas, the results achieved, and priority tasks for the future.
The working group also visited the cities of Nukus and the Tahiatosh district, where issues of women's employment and family support are being studied.
