President Shavkat Mirziyoyev reviewed a presentation on the results achieved and upcoming tasks in coal mining.

Along with all energy sectors, new projects are being implemented in the coal industry, and production capacities and volumes are being increased to ensure uninterrupted energy supply to the population, social institutions, and economic sectors during the heating season.

In the autumn-winter period of 2024-2025, almost 8.7 million tons of coal were mined and supplied to thermal power plants, budgetary organizations, and the population.

At the presentation, it was noted that 10 million tons of coal are planned to be mined in the autumn-winter season of 2025-2026. To this end, the material and technical base of the enterprises of the joint-stock company “Uzbekkumir” has been strengthened, and conditions have been created for the activities of additional producers in the industry.

The President gave instructions to ensure a guaranteed supply of coal to the population throughout the season. The importance of modernizing enterprises and commissioning new production facilities, reducing production costs through the development of market principles and competition in the industry was noted.

The presentation also addressed issues related to accelerating the implementation of new investment projects in the uranium industry, expanding the scope of geological exploration, and introducing modern technologies.
