The “Besqala Mining Valley” in Karakalpakstan is part of a broader push by Uzbekistan to develop special economic zones and attract foreign capital. Unlike earlier restrictions that required miners to rely solely on solar energy, the new framework allows a mix of renewable, hydrogen, and grid electricity, with higher tariffs applied for grid usage.</p>
<p dir="auto">The policy also aligns with Uzbekistan’s wider strategy of using tax-free zones to stimulate industrial growth in underdeveloped regions. Similar initiatives in Karakalpakstan have already targeted AI and data center investments, offering long-term tax exemptions to large-scale foreign projects.</p>
<p dir="auto">Authorities expect the mining zone to contribute to broader economic development while bringing regulated crypto activity into the formal financial system, balancing innovation with tighter state oversight.</p>
