Project Description

Uzbekistan has the third highest energy intensity per GDP and the second highest carbon intensity per GDP in 2015 in all EBRD Countries of Operations. The thermal power plants fleet includes assets that were commissioned as early as in the 60s with low efficiencies and high emissions. As a result, in 2015 the power sector in Uzbekistan accounted for more than 40% of the CO2 emissions from fuel combustion.
Uzbekistan signed the Paris Agreement on Climate Change in April 2017 and ratified it on September 2018. The country expressed the intention , through its intended Nationally Determined Contributions (iNDCs), to reduce its CO2 emissions by 10% per unit of GDP by 2030 compared to 2010 level. The decarbonisation of the power sector could greatly contribute to meeting this target. It is however necessary to bring clarity over the steps that would allow the progressive decrease of power sector CO2 emissions, while meeting electricity demand and delivering sustainable development.
Uzbekenergo, a 100% state-owned vertically integrated power utility, requested the support of the EBRD in developing a low-carbon road map for the power sector in Uzbekistan.
The project will be undertaken along two workstreams. The first workstream will cover the development of the knowledge product, and the second will involve targeted capacity building activities with Uzbekistan power sector stakeholders.

Workstream 1 – Development of knowledge product on the low-carbon development pathway for the power sector in Uzbekistan

This workstream will involve all the activities required to produce the knowledge product. The knowledge product is a report primarily targeted at decision makers in governments and power utilities that aims to transfer new knowledge in order to promote more informed policy making and power sector investmet.

Workstream 2 – Targeted dissemination workshops and tools

e consultant shall identify specific audience(s) in Uzbekistan, and develop a dissemination plan to reach them. The Plan should outline delivery of:

Up to 3 in-country workshops / meetings / briefings;
Identificaton of opportunities to disseminate the results at relevant events (UNFCCC meetings, power and energy conferences, etc).

Access to Information Policy (AIP)

The AIP sets out how the EBRD discloses information and consults with its stakeholders so as to promote better awareness and understanding of its strategies, policies and operations following its entry into force on 1 January 2020. Please visit the Access to Information Policy page to find out what information is available from the EBRD website.

Specific requests for information can be made using the EBRD Enquiries form

Independent Project Accountability Mechanism (IPAM)

If efforts to address environmental, social or public disclosure concerns with the Client or the Bank are unsuccessful (e.g. through the Client’s Project-level grievance mechanism or through direct engagement with Bank management), individuals and organisations may seek to address their concerns through the EBRD’s Independent Project Accountability Mechanism (IPAM).

IPAM independently reviews Project issues that are believed to have caused (or to be likely to cause) harm. The purpose of the Mechanism is: to support dialogue between Project stakeholders to resolve environmental, social and public disclosure issues; to determine whether the Bank has complied with its Environmental and Social Policy or Project-specific provisions of its Access to Information Policy; and where applicable, to address any existing non-compliance with these policies, while preventing future non-compliance by the Bank.

Please visit the Independent Project Accountability Mechanism webpage to find out more about IPAM and its mandate; how to submit a Request for review; or contact IPAM via email ipam@ebrd.com to get guidance and more information on IPAM and how to submit a request.
