The article analyzes the energy efficiency of wind power plants in the conditions of the regions of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Taking into account the climatic and wind characteristics of the country's territory, an assessment of the energy performance of low-power wind turbines was carried out based on statistical data on the distribution of wind speeds and calculated power dependencies of wind turbines. The paper uses the method of simulation of monthly and average annual electricity generation, taking into account the wind energy utilization factor. It is shown that at low and variable wind speeds, typical for a number of regions of Uzbekistan, traditional structural solutions of wind power plants have limited efficiency. The results obtained can be used in choosing the type of wind power plants and substantiating design solutions for wind energy facilities in the Republic of Uzbekistan.
