Any discussion of energy transition trends must be visualized in the form of a triangle in which the competing and often contradictory goals of energy security, minimizing climate impact and ensuring energy affordability are in tension. Each country, sector, and policy crystallize a set of trade-offs between different points on this triangle. To achieve net zero by 2050 unprecedented changes in industrial structures and infrastructure are needed. While energy efficiency is acceptable politically, it is a complex challenge that requires action in disparate areas, not least in consumer behavior. This presentation will address those challenges in the context of Uzbekistan, based on insights gained assisting development financial institutions, national governments, project sponsors and lenders on a variety of energy transition projects.
