“On ensuring savings of electricity and natural gas in 2026 by improving energy efficiency in sectors of the economy and organizing the rational use of energy at energy-sector enterprises”
The resolution was adopted to implement Decree PD-70. It breaks the savings targets down into monthly indicators and introduces a rapid assessment of building energy efficiency, along with support for energy audits and energy-efficient equipment. It entered into force on 14.05.2026.
Key provisions
- Starting in 2026, residential and non-residential buildings are gradually assigned an energy efficiency category based on an automated rapid assessment on an electronic platform.
- Rapid assessment results are for information only and help decide whether a full energy audit is needed. They are used to create electronic energy passports for buildings.
- Industrial enterprises are reimbursed 50% of the cost of an energy audit, up to UZS 100 million, if the report shows a savings potential of at least 10%.
- Monthly savings indicators for 2026 and the terms of “green” lending to households have been approved.
- A procedure for subsidizing heat pumps, boilers and heaters in greenhouses has been approved.
- A 2026–2028 program for energy-efficient road lighting powered by renewable energy sources has been approved.
What it means for building owners and businesses
- An energy audit showing a savings potential of 10% or more is partly paid for by the state, so the report must contain well-founded measures and a calculation of their effect.
- For greenhouse operations, heat pumps are on the list of subsidized equipment.
- A building’s rapid-assessment category shows where to start: a survey, a modernization design, then monitoring of the result.
