1.2. Resolution of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan «On measures for accelerated development and ensuring financial stability of the electric power industry» No. PP-3981 dated 23.10.2018
In recent years, large-scale reforms have been carried out in the country, primarily aimed at accelerating the development of all sectors of the economy, increasing investment attractiveness and business activity, expanding production and services.
At the same time, insufficient use of the available opportunities and potential of the electric power industry hinders the effective implementation of the planned reforms and accelerated development of the country.
The absence of a healthy competitive environment, the presence of a significant quasi-public sector, the inconsistency of tariff policy measures with the principles of a market economy lead to excessive state regulation, a conflict of state and commercial interests.
The low level of implementation of resource- and energy-saving technologies, the slow pace of updating the corresponding infrastructure lead to an increase in technological losses and systematic interruptions in the supply of electric energy, especially in the field.
The bureaucratic management system of the industry enterprises and the irrational use of labor resources reduce the efficiency and effectiveness of their work and lead to an increase in non-production costs.
In order to radically improve the organizational and legal foundations of public administration in the electric power industry on the basis of advanced foreign experience, modern innovative ideas, developments and technologies, as well as in accordance with the objectives defined by the Action Strategy for the five priority areas of Development of the Republic of Uzbekistan in 2017-2021:
1. To approve the "Roadmap" for increasing generating capacities, modernizing
