The Kuznets Curve (EKC) has been widely studied in the literature, but energy evaluation studies are lacking.
Taking the Energy-EKC test is essential for those who rely heavily on non-renewable energy sources. In this article, the
relationship between Uzbekistan’s energy use and GDP are evaluated with the help of cubic equation. The time frame
covers from 1990 to 2020. The energy-environment Kuznets curve (energy-EKC) has been supported in Uzbekistan for
long term. At constant GDP per capita of $9783, the N-curve model started to curve, beginning to result in increased
energy consumption and subsequent environmental impacts and the second inflection point occurs in $16731. This
rise in GDP per capita will cause a reduction in energy use and this is good for the nature. Similar patterns in energy
consumption are observed in the short term. Thus, the energy-environment Kuznets curve (EKC) is also confirmed to be
valid for short term.
