The article provides a comparative analysis of energy efficiency and the structure of fuel and energy resource consumption (FER) by region in the Republic of Uzbekistan. Based on statistical data for 2024, significant interregional disparities have been identified: the energy efficiency indicator varies from 1.3% in the Andijan region to 8.0% in the Tashkent region. It was found that the high level of energy efficiency in a number of regions (Karakalpakstan, Kashkadarya region) is associated with an excessive dependence on fossil fuels (more than 73%), which poses risks to environmental sustainability. Based on cluster analysis, groups of regions with similar consumption profiles were formed, for each of which differentiated policy measures were proposed. Recommendations are given on improving the efficiency of energy use, diversifying the energy balance and integrating digital solutions in the context of the transition to a “green economy”.

It is vital to establish trustworthy forecasting methodologies in order to predict and assess a country's energy consumption ahead of time. This enables economists to better track and analyze consumers' energy needs. To that purpose, this study was done to establish the Republic of Uzbekistan's long-term energy consumption forecast using data on energy consumption volume acquired between 1985 and 2023. The forecasting procedure used the econometric ARIMA model. The Box-Jenkins approach was used to determine the optimal ARIMA order. According to the findings, the ARIMA (0,1,3) model was shown to be the most accurate. Based on this model, the entire predicted results had an average percentage inaccuracy of 7.2 percent. It was discovered that ARIMA is the most effective model for making long-term strategic decisions about energy consumption.

This article analyzes current trends in the formation of the digital economy in the energy sector, particularly the capabilities of Smart Grid and Digital Twin technologies and their impact on production, distribution, consumption, and management systems. The stages and functional directions of digital transformation are examined, and advanced digital energy models of Germany, the USA, China, and Japan are comparatively analyzed. The practical experience of implementing SCADA, AMR, and ERP systems in the energy sector of Uzbekistan is studied, based on which priority areas and strategic recommendations for the digitalization of the national energy sector are developed. The research results highlight the theoretical and practical foundations for forming a digital energy ecosystem in Uzbekistan.

In this article, in an econometric analysis of household income and demand for consumer goods, energy consumption per capita is assessed, the problems of ensuring energy savings are studied, the processes for eliminating them, as well as the efficient use of electrical energy resources have been studied. To assess the electricity consumption of the Republic of Uzbekistan, energy consumption in industries and sectors of the economy was compared and analyzed, and using elasticity coefficients it was studied how much electricity consumption will increase the income of the population by 1%.

The article examines the impact of energy resources on the economic growth of Uzbekistan. It focuses on analyzing the data related to the installed capacity of power stations and the consumption of electricity in various economic sectors. In addition, the article considers the growth of alternative energy sources and their contribution to the overall energy balance of the country.

The article discusses the significant role of thermal power stations in Uzbekistan's energy sector, emphasizing the ongoing modernization efforts to increase efficiency and reduce environmental impact. It outlines various projects and investments aimed at upgrading existing facilities and installing new, energy-efficient units. The text highlights the economic and operational benefits of these initiatives, including reduced fuel consumption, increased production capacities, and enhanced technological capabilities. The article also details the financial investments and the expected outcomes of these projects in terms of capacity and sustainability improvements.

This paper provides an empirical analysis of the impact of economic growth, industrial development, foreign direct investment, and energy consumption on carbon dioxide emissions in Uzbekistan over the period 1991-2024, employing the ARDL and ECM frameworks. The results indicate that, in both the long and short run, economic growth is associated with improvements in environmental efficiency, whereas foreign direct investment is predominantly concentrated in emission-intensive sectors. The findings highlight the need to enhance industrial policy through strengthened institutional and investment mechanisms.

This article examines the prospects of implementing “green mortgage” programs in Uzbekistan and their economic effectiveness. Drawing on international experience, the study explores the advantages of green mortgages, including preferential interest rates, energy-efficiency certification systems, and refinancing mechanisms for banks. The findings indicate that green mortgage programs can significantly reduce energy consumption, modernize the housing stock, lower household expenses, and improve environmental sustainability. The analysis concludes that successful implementation in Uzbekistan requires strengthening the institutional framework, expanding financial incentives, and enhancing cooperation with international financial institutions.

This article analyzes the economic efficiency and organizational mechanisms of production activities at textile enterprises in Uzbekistan. The results of the study show that advanced management approaches - lean production, just-in-time production and the Six Sigma system - play an important role in optimizing and increasing the efficiency of production processes. The economic aspects of production processes (resource use, cost, energy and water consumption) and organizational aspects (interdepartmental coordination, quality control, personnel qualifications) are closely interconnected, and their integrated management ensures the competitiveness and sustainable development of the enterprise. At the same time, the article also analyzes the modernization processes in the industry, export indicators and labor efficiency.
