Uzbekistan Electricity Access
Access to electricity as % of population EG.ELC.ACCS.ZS
Uzbekistan's electricity access was 99.98% in 2025, ranked 135th globally. This represents a 0.0% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1996–2025.
Overview
Uzbekistan's electricity access stood at 99.98% in 2025, a decline of +0.02pp from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 99.98% by 2025. Uzbekistan ranked 135th globally.
Uzbekistan’s electricity‑access rate has risen modestly but steadily over the 29‑year series, moving from 99.60 % in 1996 to a near‑universal 99.98 % in 2025, placing the country 135th in the world. The all‑time trough of 99.38 % occurred in 1997, after which the indicator climbed consistently, reaching its all‑time peak of 100.00 % in 2023 before a slight dip the following year. This performance is comparable to Montenegro, which also records 99.98 % access, and slightly ahead of Brazil’s 99.88 % level. The persistence of high coverage suggests that Uzbekistan has largely completed the basic electrification stage, leaving limited scope for further gains through network expansion alone. Future improvements will likely depend on enhancing grid reliability, integrating renewable sources, and extending access to remote or off‑grid communities, which could sustain the upward trajectory despite the already saturated headline figure.
