  Based on the results of studying the organization, an international expert identified five significant areas for further improvement:

  Organizational structure. Organizational structure JSC «National Electric Networks of Uzbekistan» needs further improvement to achieve higher efficiency.
  A ten-year network development plan. The existing development plan does not take into account the environmental, social and economic aspects of the projects under consideration.

  Energy Management System (EMS). At the current stage, an energy management system (EMS) is not used, which contains a set of tools that will help analyze energy data, track energy consumption over time in geographically distributed transmission and generation assets.
