III. ECONOMIC MECHANISMS
RATIONAL USE OF ENERGY
Article 17. Financing of the target
Programs and projects
Article 18. Interbranch fund of power savings
Article 19. Privileges to manufacturers and
To energy consumers
Article 20. Use of the renewed
Energy sources
Article 21. Responsibility for the irrational
Energy use
Article 17. Financing of target programs and projects
Financing of national, branch and regional target programs and projects in the field of rational
use of energy is carried out at the expense of incomes of industrial activity of the enterprises getting
profit on realisation of power effective programs and projects, target off-budget funds, own and
foreign investments, budgetary and other sources in an order established by the legislation.
Article 18. Interbranch fund of power savings
With a view of financial support of a state policy in the field of rational use of energy by the
Republic Uzbekistan Government the off-budget interbranch fund of power savings (further - power
savings fund) is created.
Sources of formation of fund of power savings can be:
- The profit received for granting of credits and from other financial and economic activity of
fund;
- Share of the profit received from realisation of national, branch and regional target programs
and projects in the field of rational use of energy;
- Voluntary target payments legal and physical persons, including foreign;
- Receipt of means from application of economic sanctions for irrational use of energy;
- Other receipts which are not contradicting the legislation.
Article 19. Privileges to manufacturers and energy consumers
With a view of rational use of energy the Republic Uzbekistan Government gives legal and to
physical persons of a privilege on:
- To financing at the expense of the state soft loan of national, branch and regional target
programs and projects in the field of rational use of energy;
- To financing interbranch research also it is skilled - design works, to manufacture of
experimental batches of energetically effective equipment;
- To the customs duties and taxes to import of the special equipment, devices and the materials
which use essentially raises efficiency of use of energy;
- To other questions according to the competence.
The Republic Uzbekistan government can establish reduced rates for energy legal and to
physical persons:
- Provided decrease in power consumptions against the established specifications;
- Letting out competitive production with power consumption below the established
specifications;
- Using fuel as raw materials for manufacture of mass production.
With a view of the accelerated economic return and capital investments in power saving up
technologies to manufacturers of the equipment, devices, теплоизоляционных materials and
designs, power effective production of the mass production, corresponding works and services, and
also legal and to the physical persons providing their introduction and operation, the preferential
taxation according to the legislation is established.
Legal and to the physical persons who are carrying out works on perfection of power supply
and a heat supply, equipment of apartment houses, apartments, the enterprises, establishments and
the organisations devices of the account, control and the power consumption regulation, carrying out
additional теплоизоляционные and other actions directed on reduction of power consumption, use
of the secondary power resources, renewed energy sources, local kinds of fuel and production
wastes for heating, can be given to the grant from means of fund of power savings.
Article 20. Use of renewed energy sources
Manufacturers electric and thermal energy, not entering into power supplying organisations,
have the right to energy holiday in a network of these organisations in quantity and the modes
providing the most rational operating mode of networks and sources of centralised power supply,
co-ordinated with power supplying organisations. The power supplying organisations are obliged to
provide reception of energy from the specified manufacturers in the networks at the prices formed
when due hereunder.
For power installations which use renewed energy sources, recycling of secondary resources
and a waste constructed according to projects and programs in the field of rational use of energy, the
prices on electric and thermal energy should provide the accelerated recoupment of capital
investments in building of these installations in the terms co-ordinated with the Government of
Republic Uzbekistan.
With a view of stimulation of an effective utilisation of power resources in an order defined by

seasonal tariffs on electric and thermal energy, and also the intradaily differentiated tariffs for
electric energy are established.
Article 21. Responsibility for the irrational
Energy use
Legal and the physical persons occupied in sphere of manufacture and consumption of energy,
are obliged to provide the established power production efficiency, production, works and the
services excluding a real loss of energy and release of energetically inefficient production. At
infringement of these requirements to legal bodies according to the legislation economic sanctions in
a case are applied:
- Infringements of indicators of quality of energy;
- The real loss of energy established by a tool or standard method;
- The output which indicators of power efficiency do not correspond to requirements of
standard documents;
- Infringements of the instrument account of consumption of energy;
- Uses of not certificated power equipment, elements of networks and power supply systems;
- необеспечения the established share of use of available secondary power resources.
Application of economic sanctions does not release legal and physical persons from
compensation of the damage caused by them.
Responsibility of physical persons for irrational use of energy is defined by the legislation.
The losses caused to power consumers by suppliers of energy as a result of not co-ordinated
terminations of power supply, are compensated in the order established by the legislation.
