Today international collaboration and cooperation are being considered as one of the main trends of higher education development all over the world. Knowledge has become increasingly international. For example, the total number of foreign students worldwide was approximately 200,000 in the 1950- 1960 years. This figure changed in 1987 up to 1.2 million partially thanks to establishing international mobility programs such as European Comission funded ERASMUS MUNDUS. In 2004 this number reached 2.5 million (UNESCO Institute for Statistics, 2006).

The traditional energy supply is receiving a great pressure in the post-soviet due to the increasing demand and diminishing resources. The role of renewable energy sources is crucial for meeting the future energy demand, especially in the residential sector. Current study reviews the perception of the current decision makers on the prospects of renewable energy penetration in the Khorezm province of Uzbekistan. It was discovered that high price of the renewable energy facilities and inability to fully replace the traditional energy supply serves as a disincentive while availability of crediting and public awareness may serve as an incentive. Avenues for renewable energy penetration in the residential sector of Uzbekistan are discussed further.
