Event overview
Power Uzbekistan 2027 is the 20th anniversary edition of Uzbekistan's largest annual meeting place for the energy industry, held from 12 to 14 May at CAEx Uzbekistan in Tashkent. The exhibition brings together power producers, grid operators, equipment manufacturers, EPC contractors, utilities and government buyers from across Central Asia.
Its floor covers conventional generation, electrical equipment, renewables, storage, nuclear energy and energy-efficiency technology, alongside a business programme of conferences and technical seminars. With Uzbekistan investing heavily in new capacity and grid modernisation, the show is a practical sourcing and partnership window for companies selling into one of the region's fastest-moving energy markets.
TL;DR
Meet manufacturers and distributors of generation, grid and renewable equipment in three days, compare specifications side by side, and sit in on conference sessions covering the issues shaping Uzbekistan's energy build-out. The show is trade-only, so conversations are with technical and procurement specialists rather than general visitors.
Uzbekistan's energy programme is procurement-heavy and centrally planned. Exhibiting puts equipment and services in front of utility decision-makers, EPC contractors and regional distributors at the country's flagship energy event, with a business programme that attracts ministry and regulator participation.

Edition recap
The last edition drew 7,479 industry visitors from 20 countries and 173 manufacturers and suppliers from 16 countries. The organiser reports that 98% of visitors planned to return and 61% of participants wanted to exhibit again.
Impact
The show matters because Uzbekistan is procuring generation, grid and storage capacity at scale, and this is the one annual venue where utility, EPC and ministry buyers walk the same floor as equipment suppliers. A visitor can qualify a shortlist of regional partners in three days rather than arranging a multi-city tour.
Audience quality
The audience is trade-only and heavily technical: grid and utility engineers, EPC procurement teams, industrial energy managers and government stakeholders. The organiser reports visitors from 20 countries, which gives exhibitors a regional rather than purely domestic reach, though the published figures are not independently audited.
Exhibitor outcomes
The commercial case rests on concentrated access to project owners and specification writers during a procurement cycle, not on published ROI. Exhibitors should set pipeline targets around qualified meetings and tender introductions, then track follow-up conversion; no audited return figure is published.
Intelligence
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Why it matters
Uzbekistan is expanding thermal, solar, wind and nuclear capacity while modernising a inherited Soviet-era grid. That combination creates sustained demand for turbines, transformers, switchgear, cables, storage and control systems, and makes Tashkent the region's main procurement hub for energy equipment.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
Utility-scale renewables and storage
Solar, wind and battery storage projects are moving from pilot stage to tendered capacity, pulling in inverters, trackers, storage systems and grid-integration services.
What it changes: Suppliers with bankable references and local service capability can enter projects at the specification stage.
Grid reinforcement and digitalisation
Ageing substations and transmission lines are being replaced and fitted with protection, SCADA and metering systems to support new generation and industrial demand.
What it changes: The show is a direct route to utility engineers writing technical specifications for grid upgrades.
Nuclear and thermal baseload
Uzbekistan is developing nuclear capacity with Uzatom and maintaining thermal generation as a baseload anchor alongside renewables.
What it changes: Nuclear and thermal supply chains need long-lead equipment, safety systems and qualified local partners.
