OPPORTUNITIES TO INCREASE EXPORT CAPACITY THROUGH RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES
Abstract
This study explores the potential to enhance export capacity through the utilization of renewable energy sources. A conceptual model was developed based on the interaction between resource availability, technological advancement, infrastructure, and regula tory environment. Drawing on the experience of leading countries and empirical analysis, tailored recommendations were formulated for Uzbekistan. Findings indicate that integrated modern energy strategies can foster sustainable and competitive export devel opment. 636
