In line with the report of the project on Uzbekistan, the energy saving lamps can help consumers in Uzbekistan to save up to 2.53 billion K.W.H. of electricity a year. In line with the project data, this volume is equal to annual production of one medium size coal-fired power plant with the capacity of 500 megawatt.

Transfer from energy saving lamps will help Uzbekistan to cut greenhouse emissions up to 1.1 million tonnes of CO2-equivallent a year, which is equal to emission of 275,000 mid-size cars. The report said that annual energy and cost saving in Uzbekistan will make up about 77%.

At the same time, transfer from ordinary lamps to energy saving ones can cost Uzbekistan for about US$202.2 million.

Uzbekistan carried out some work on launch of production of energy saving lumps. In September 2010, the Uzbek-British joint venture Neo Sun Light on production of energy saving lamps has been launched. Total investments on this project will make up US$3.4 million.

In October 2010, Uzbekenergo and South Korea’s Semi Lighting Co. Ltd inked a memorandum on creation of joint venture on production of energy-saving light-emitting diode (LED) lamps.

Other Korean company Shinhwa Lighting is working on project on organization of production of energy saving lamps in Navoi free industrial and economic zone.
