Uzbekistan Plans to Increase Copper Production to 500,000 Tons
The launch of a third copper concentration plant will enable an increase in raw material output for the electrical engineering industry.
Through this project, copper production is expected to reach 300,000 tons, and by 2030, it is projected to grow to 500,000 tons.
According to President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev, the country's copper reserves amount to 47 million tons. He urged local entrepreneurs to seek partners and launch long-term projects in the electrical engineering sector.
Over the next 10 years, Uzbekistan plans to implement projects worth 450 billion dollars together with partners. These include the construction of solar and wind power plants and the creation of energy storage capacities. These projects are expected to generate long-term demand for electrical engineering products. Mirziyoyev identified the next goal for the electrical engineering industry as not only increasing production but also achieving a technological breakthrough.
