a) providing compensation to individuals in the amount of 30 percent of the costs of purchasing solar photovoltaic plants, solar water heaters, as well as energy—efficient gas-burning devices, but not more than:
3 million soums – for solar photovoltaic plants;
1.5 million soums – for solar water heaters;
200 thousand soums – for gas-burning devices;
b) providing compensations to individuals and legal entities to cover interest costs on loans from commercial banks for the purchase of renewable energy installations, energy—efficient gas burners and boilers, as well as other energy—efficient equipment:
to individuals – on loans whose amount does not exceed 500 million soums – in part exceeding the refinancing rate of the Central Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan, but not by more than 8 percentage points;
to legal entities – on loans, the amount of which does not exceed 5 billion soums – in the part exceeding the refinancing rate of the Central Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan, but not more than 5 percentage points;
c) development and adoption of international standards that establish requirements for energy-efficient, energy-saving technologies and equipment, as well as methods of their testing.
