Currently, Uzbekistan is at the stage of revising policies and implementation mechanisms to promote end-use energy efficiency. Therefore, now is the right time to discuss with key national stakeholders, international donors, and partners the way forward. Also, seize the opportunity to integrate lessons learned and experiences gained in the EU Member States (EU MSs) and Energy Community Contract Parties (EnC CPs) into the further process of sustainable energy policy development in Uzbekistan.

This conference provided an action-oriented forum for decision-makers to share experiences in the implementation of energy efficiency policies in practice. In addition, it was also an opportunity to share experiences and best practices based on lessons learned by EU MSs and EnC CPs.

The conference gathered national stakeholders, energy policymakers, professionals as well as professional associations, academia representatives and civil society organizations, donors, and IFIs.

The conference was organised jointly by the Agency for Strategic Reforms under the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the European Union SECCA Project.
