Title: The challenge of greater energy efficiency in Uzbekistan


1
The challenge of greater energy efficiency in
Uzbekistan
Martin Raiser Country Manager Uzbekistan The
World Bank
2
Uzbekistans Energy Resources A Fossil Fuel
based system
3
Energy efficiency in Uzbekistan is among the
lowest in the world
4
Commercial and technical losses are a key problem
5
Significant upside potential but uncertainty
over resource base and significant investment
needs
  • Implications
  • increase in domestic gas availability for thermal
    generation of 4.8-5.5 bcm
  • investment needs in power sector of US2300 mln
  • Additional investment needs in upstream oil gas

6
The promise of greater energy efficiency
If Uzbekistan
  • Achieved Russians current level of Electricity
    Intensity by 2015

Savings would amount to 41000 GWh or 1.4
billion annually
  • Reduced Commercial and Technical Losses to 10 by
    2015

Savings would amount to 7200 GWh or 250 million
annually

Challenges for greater energy efficiency
  • Price adjustment for demand reduction
  • - Good progress, but worry about
    affordability for the most vulnerable (already
    energy 25 of their budget)
  • Improved corporate governance for commercial and
    technical loss reduction
  • - Metering program is absolutely
    necessary
  • - Needs to be integrated with MIS system
    to reduce scope for corruption
  • - Increased cash flow crucial to fund
    urgent investments
  • Attract private sector for greater efficiency
  • Performance based contracts to create incentives
    to save
  • Competitive tendering to achieve least cost
    solutions

8
The role of the World Bank and other donors
  • Support for priority investments WB credit
    planned for
  • Metering and billing in electricity and gas
    distribution
  • TA for improved MIS in Uzbekenergo and gas
    distribution
  • targeted social support to the vulnerable
  • development of sound regulatory framework
  • Dialogue of broader sector reform issues
  • Audit of oil gas reserves
  • Advice of attracting private investment into
    energy sector
  • Maximizing opportunities for export and regional
    cooperation (see next presentation by R. Sharma)
