Energy Situation
Uzbekistan is the second largest of the Caspian gas producers, after Turkmenistan. Its abundant natural gas resources are used both for domestic consumption and export. [7]

National Level
Electricity
Household Level
Fuel wood in the arid zones of Uzbekistan is often scarce as a result of deforestation and range degradation. Phasing out of energy subsidies has caused that livestock manure is used for heating and cooking, because alternative energy sources are no longer available or affordable. The country has used livestock manure in many traditional practices such as aerobic digestion (composting), anaerobic digestion (biodigesters), and as a direct application as organic fertilizer. [9]

General Energy policy, Energy strategy
A National EE Strategy has been in place since 2001. Besides international initiatives a campaign has been carried out to install meters for consumers of natural gas and hot water. As a result, energy intensity of GDP decreased by 10%, from 0.96 kgoe/$ in 2000 to 0.86 kgoe/$ in 2004, still considerably high levels. There is also an Energy Efficiency Programme for the period to 2010, targeting 50% energy savings in the household and utility sectors. [10]
Important Laws and regulations

Specific strategies (Biomass, renewable energies, rural electrification, energy access strategy etc.)
Currently the law “On Renewable Energy Sources” has been drafted. The national strategy on the development of RES is being formulated with the assistance of UNDP. [11]
