Electricity of government buildings in Uzbekistan to be shut down during electricity restrictions

Sherzod Khojayev, Deputy Minister of Energy of Uzbekistan, answered the most discussed questions about the shortage of energy resources.

Will the power usage restrictions schedule be imposed on government agencies?

All categories of consumers connected to electricity will remain without supply during scheduled power outages and supply restrictions.

Social sector facilities, especially hospitals and similar facilities, use the second (reserve) network in case of a one-way blackout due to the fact that they are connected to a two-way power supply. If for some reason the backup network also goes out, then the diesel generators in these hospitals will start and produce electricity for the required time.

But there will be interruptions in organizations that are not particularly important at this level. Also in the ministry, municipalities, and other state agencies, the deputy minister noted.
