The State Committee for Nature Protection held series of workshops on renewable energy in the regions.
The event in Ferghana was attended representatives of Hokimiyat, Territorial branch of Committee for Nature Protection, farmers and the private sector, local government and regional media journalists. The purpose of the meeting – an exchange of views on economic, legal, social aspects of the introduction of renewable energy and energy efficient technologies, progress in this direction and goals for the future.
Participants noted that in our country in the years of independence, a lot of works have been done in this direction. The impetus for further development was the Decree of President “On measures for further development of alternative energy sources” from 1 March, 2013. This document aims to further research in the field, the organization of domestic production of advanced equipment and technology. As part of its implementation, the Scientific Innovation Center “Eco-Energy” has signed a cooperation agreement with the International Institute of Solar Energy.

A similar workshop in Urgench gathered members of the general public and the business community. In Khorezm region, as well as in neighboring Karakalpakstan, the use of “clean” energy is a priority. Regions much more affected by the drying of the Aral Sea are interested in further dynamic development without harming the environment. Furthermore, the climatic conditions of them are very favorable for usage, in particular solar energy. Scientific Innovation Center “Eco-energy” has already implemented several successful projects there. In particular, Takhtakupir district in Karakalpakstan, Khiva and Gurlen Districts in Khorezm region commissioned experimental models of solar panels, collectors, ovens, solar tower plants.
During the meeting, experts discussed the issues of energy efficiency in detail. There were given practical examples of how to better use of electricity and heating.
