With nearly $20 billion in foreign investment attracted to Uzbekistan’s energy sector over the past five years, today’s “Green Development Model of New Uzbekistan” panel focused on the country’s shift towards a sustainable, resource-efficient economy.

The panel brought together leading industry voices: Wu Gang, Chairman of Goldwind, Hussain AlNowais, Chairman of AMEA Power, Cédric Le Bousse, EVP International Operations, EDF Renouvelables, Abid Malik, President Central Asia, ACWA Power - Central Asia, and Raphael Barreau, Chief Investment Officer, Masdar (Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company).

Moderated by Igor Alekseev, Managing Partner at Boston Consulting Group (BCG), the discussion highlighted the scale of investment required, with up to $50 billion in private and multilateral funding needed by 2035 to fully transform the sector.

During Q&A session, Abid Malik emphasised the scale and momentum: “All the leading investors in the country are here today. Why are they investing? The real catalyst is the reform agenda led by His Excellency President Shavkat Mirziyoyev.”

A forward-looking conversation on how Uzbekistan is turning policy into action to drive green growth.
