Type C, E and F at 220 V; older Soviet-era sockets are unearthed.

Arriving from the United States or CanadaA plug adapter, and appliances marked 100-240 V. Anything single-voltage needs a converter.
Arriving from the UK or IrelandA plug adapter is enough - the voltage is the same as at home.
Arriving from most of continental EuropePlugs go straight in and the voltage matches. Nothing to pack.
Arriving from Australia or New ZealandA plug adapter is enough - the voltage is the same as at home.

Socket types, voltage and frequency are the nominal domestic supply as published in IEC/TR 60083 and the national standards it lists.

Uzbek sockets are Type , and at 220 V, so European plugs fit and older outlets are unearthed.

Sockets in Uzbekistan are Type , and at 220 V, 50 Hz - the European round-pin pattern, in both the French and German earthing styles.

A Europlug fits every socket in the country.
Older Soviet-built sockets are unearthed and narrower than a modern Schuko outlet, so a heavy European plug sometimes needs pressure.
British, American and Australian plugs need an adapter.
220 V, so American 120 V-only equipment needs a converter.
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan all match, so one adapter covers a Silk Road route.
The earth is a pair of clips or a pin depending on the socket. Both take a Europlug, and neither earths a two-pin adapter.
