The issue of reducing tariffs depends not only on the operation of hydroelectric power plants. About 80% of the electricity in Uzbekistan is produced by thermal power plants, noted Farukh Nurilayev, First Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors of Uzbekhydroenergo JSC. At the same time, if the raw material of hydroelectric power plants is water, then for thermal power plants the main raw materials are gas, coal and other types of fuel. As a result, the tariffs for end consumers are determined by the Ministry of Finance based on the expenses of all the energy organizations, as well as taking into account the volumes of electricity provided by them.
