TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, December 2. Projects worth $933 million aimed at generating electricity from municipal solid waste have been launched across six regions of Uzbekistan, Trend reports via the press service of the president of Uzbekistan.
The announcement was made during a meeting chaired by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev dedicated to ensuring environmental stability in the country.
The projects have been initiated in the Andijan, Namangan, Fergana, Samarkand, Kashkadarya, and Tashkent regions. However, it was noted that other regions have not yet seen significant progress in this direction.
