“Uzbekistan’s first nuclear power plant is about more than energy generation. Electricity demand is rising alongside industrial growth, infrastructure development and digitalisation, while domestic gas production has been falling. The project is therefore as much a response to growing energy pressures as it is a long-term investment in the country’s economic development.” 📌 In this note, Cordoba Research Group looks at: - What Uzbekistan’s first nuclear power plant will consist of and Rosatom’s role in the project - Why rising electricity demand and falling domestic gas production have made energy security a priority - How the project fits into Uzbekistan’s wider economic transformation, including WTO accession and capital market development - Why future cooperation with Kazakhstan could become increasingly important through uranium supply and nuclear infrastructure 📩 Read the note here: https://lnkd.in/eb-CxzAR #Uzbekistan #NuclearEnergy #EnergySecurity #CentralAsia #EmergingMarkets #CordobaResearchGroup
