DHInfrastructure reviewed the policy, legal and regulatory, institutional, and governance framework in Uzbekistan's power sector and met with a wide range of stakeholders to discuss their objectives for reform and potential options to achieve those objectives. Using case studies and available indicators, DHInfrastructure then benchmarked Uzbekistan's energy sector against the energy sectors of comparable countries and analyzed underlying factors for gaps where Uzbekistan lags behind the other countries. Finally, DHInfrastructure wrote a report outlining our recommendations for achieving Government's objectives for power sector reform and presented it to stakeholders.
