How big is Uzbekistan's transmission network?

OverWatts maps 11,400 km of transmission line in Uzbekistan, across 1,554 segments, plus 6 substations. This is mapped length from OpenStreetMap, not an operator-reported total — where OSM is incomplete the figure is a floor, never a ceiling.

What voltage is Uzbekistan's grid?

Most of the mapped network is high voltage (220–379 kV): 8,833 km of 11,400 km. The highest voltage tagged anywhere in the country is 500 kV.

How complete is the grid map for Uzbekistan?

Moderate — 24.7 km of mapped line per 1,000 km² of land, ahead of 65% of the 153 countries with any mapped grid. Coverage grades how completely OpenStreetMap has drawn the network, not how much network exists; large, sparsely-populated countries score low for geographic reasons alone.

Who operates the grid in Uzbekistan?

UzbekEnergo are tagged as operators on mapped segments. Operator tags are present on 3% of Uzbekistan's segments, so this ranks who is *recorded*, not market share.

What interconnectors connect Uzbekistan to its neighbours?

5,980 MW of cross-border transfer capacity to Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan. Capacities are from the Global Transmission Database (v1.0, 2023).

Uzbekistan power grid

OverWatts maps 11,400 km of Uzbekistan's electricity transmission network across 1,554 line segments and 6 substations, the 33rd most-mapped grid of 153 countries. Its backbone is high voltage (220–379 kV), carrying 8,833 km — 78% of the mapped length, with the highest tagged voltage at 500 kV. That works out to 24.7 km per 1,000 km² of land — moderate OpenStreetMap coverage, ahead of 65% of mapped countries. It is connected to 5 neighbouring grids by 5,980 MW of existing cross-border transfer capacity.

This grades how completely OpenStreetMap has drawn Uzbekistan's network — not how much network exists. Large, sparsely-populated countries score low for geographic reasons alone, and every kilometre here is mapped length, so the totals are a floor rather than an operator-reported figure. 0% of segments carry a real line name and 3% an operator tag.

1,554 segments · a segment is credited to the country containing its midpoint, so a border-crossing line counts once, on one side.

Where there is room to connect a new load depends on published hosting capacity, which most operators release only as their own map. OverWatts does not yet ingest those feeds, so these are the density measures the open data supports — generation and mapped demand against mapped network — not a headroom figure.
