Uzbekistan’s natural gas production reached 42.3bn cubic meters in 2025, making it the country’s largest energy output by volume, according to preliminary data from the National Statistics Committee.
Fuel production also remained substantial. Automobile gasoline output totaled 1.2mn tonnes, equal to diesel fuel production, while gas condensate production reached 1.1mn tonnes. Meanwhile, crude oil production amounted to 655,700 tonnes, reflecting steady extraction levels.
In the solid fuel segment, coal production reached 8.9mn tonnes, supporting power generation and industrial demand. Industrial output also included 248,247 automobile engines, highlighting continued activity in the manufacturing sector.
Earlier reports indicate that Uzbekistan is preparing to expand its energy infrastructure, including plans to develop underground natural gas storage facilities. The issue was discussed during President Shavkat Mirziyoyev’s meeting with CNPC Chairman Dai Houliang in Beijing on September 2, where the sides reviewed Chinese investment in gas storage, energy infrastructure modernization, metrological standards, and innovative technologies.
At the consumer level, Uzbekistan continues to rank among countries with relatively low fuel costs. The country placed 30th globally for the cheapest fuel prices, with the average gasoline price recorded at $0.98 per liter, placing Uzbekistan among the most affordable fuel markets out of 127 countries surveyed.
