Episode Synopsis

Uzbekistan's power sector is changing--the sector was recently unbundled and government achieved record low prices from its large solar power auction.  I met Ms. Aziza Umarova, the CEO of SmartGov Consulting, in Tashkent Uzbekistan and had a long chat over coffee on broad range of energy sector issues.     We touched upon the power sector unbundling, future of solar power, and energy efficiency: why do we unbundle our power sector? what's the point of wholesale electricity market and energy sector regulation? and what's the future of off-grid solar power, batteries and electric vehicles?    If you want to find more, please join this conversation:   You may connect directly with us on:   Aziza Umarova  http://smartgov.consulting/eng Twitter @AzizaUmarova Sohail Hasnie: Facebook @sohailhasnie Twitter @shasnie LinkedIn @shasnie ADB Blog Sohail Hasnie
