Deputy Nuriddin Sultонов has requested clarification regarding the widespread shutdown of electric charging stations in Tashkent.

Deputy of the Parliament of Uzbekistan, Nuriddin Sultonov, has sent inquiries to the Ministry of Energy and the Cadastre Agency to investigate the reasons behind the mass disconnection and dismantling of electric charging stations in the capital. This was reported by the press service of the UzLiDeP faction.

The parliamentarian emphasized that such actions raise concerns among entrepreneurs and the public, especially in light of Uzbekistan's active transition to a "green" economy. The import of electric vehicles has exceeded 20,000 units in the first ten months of this year, and domestic car manufacturers have also begun producing such vehicles. Consequently, there is a pressing need to develop the infrastructure for charging stations in the country.

Sultonov reminded that the presidential decree from December 19, 2022, mandates the inclusion of electric charging stations in projects for commercial centers, gas stations, hotels, and recreational areas. However, stations in Tashkent, even those without outstanding electricity debts, are being disconnected from the grid en masse, which is causing dissatisfaction among businesses.

Moreover, economist Otabek Bakirov described the situation as a "targeted campaign" with elements of "administrative raiding." He pointed out that the Ministry of Energy has not issued orders for disconnection, yet local energy networks (RES) continue to disconnect charging stations in large numbers, raising doubts about the true motives behind these actions.

Bakirov also noted the involvement of the Cadastre Agency, which is initiating the dismantling, and its coordination with other government entities, which appears to be an organized effort aimed at achieving specific goals.

The deputy has requested explanations from the Minister of Energy and the Director of the Cadastre Agency regarding the situation with the disconnection and dismantling of electric charging stations in the capital.
