As Spot reported, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev held an open dialogue with investors in the fuel and energy sector.
The president highlighted the need for substantial investment and complex infrastructure for energy projects. He said delays in allocating land for construction, connecting projects to the power grid or issuing technical specifications could slow down their implementation.
Representatives of ACWA, Datavolt, EDF, Voltalia and other major companies proposed establishing a system to address such issues through regular communication. To this end, Uzbekistan is setting up a Council of Investors in the fuel and energy sector, chaired by Presidential Administration head Saida Mirziyoyeva.
“I am doing this to shorten the distance between investors and the president. Does that work for you? I am putting it mildly, but you all understand what I mean when I say that we have serious problems and shortcomings, including bureaucracy and corruption. I had to make this decision to prevent these issues. The council’s main task is to listen to you,” Mirziyoyev said.
The new body will work to find prompt solutions to investors' problems at every stage of a project, from land allocation to commissioning. Mirziyoyev stressed that the council’s work would remain under his constant supervision.
