Uzbekistan has an AI strategy to 2030 and has announced several AI data centre projects, including a 60 MW first phase of a modular computing centre in Karakalpakstan.

Presidential Decree PQ-358 of 14 October 2024 approved the AI development strategy to 2030, which calls for high-capacity computing servers. On 30 November 2025 the Ministry of Digital Technologies signed an action plan with a Chinese company for a Modular Intelligent Computing Center in Karakalpakstan, with a first phase of 60 MW and a second of 240 MW. The President's office has also announced a 12 MW data centre at IT Park with DataVolt and an AI data centre at a Center for Future Technologies. For someone seeking compute, these are announced projects and their status needs checking.

AI policy and activity

The 2030 targets in the strategy, as summarised by the Ministry of Digital Technologies, include raising the share of AI-powered services on the state services portal by 10 per cent and expanding to 10 scientific AI laboratories.

Power and grid

We did not fetch Uzbek grid operator pages. The only power facts read are project sizes stated by the government and 5 MW of dedicated generation for the Center for Future Technologies.
