As part of ongoing efforts to promote the efficient use of renewable energy sources and ensure stable electricity supply in the region, two small hydropower plants (HPPs) have been constructed and put into operation in Nukus district.

In particular, one of the plants was built in the territory of the "Akterek" citizens’ assembly, utilizing the flow of the Bozataw canal. This small HPP has a capacity of 15 kilowatts.
