Can Tajikistan use solar power to improve energy security?

Tajikistan’s significant solar power potential could be harnessed to enhance energy security and meet several energy-policy goals simultaneously, and the government has recently set a target for non-hydropower renewable energy to provide 10% of generating capacity by 2030.

What is wind energy potential in Tajikistan?

Wind Energy Potential: There is limited potential for wind energy in Tajikistan. Promising Wind Energy Potential Areas: Pamir Mountains, Turkestan Range, Vakhsh Range. Potential Hydrogen Costs: $6-8 per kg of H2 assuming electricity prices of $0.1 per kWh.

How much energy does Tajikistan import in 2023?

In 2023, the oil and gas imports constitute the largest share of Tajikistan’s imports value, which is 16.78% (approximately $957,46 million). However, to enhance national energy security, Tajikistan aims to transform its role to an energy exporter, thanks to its still untapped hydropower potential coupled with solar and wind.

How can Tajikistan improve its energy system resilience?

Tajikistan seeks to enhance its energy system resilience by reconnecting to the United Energy System of Central Asia. This effort is supported by large infrastructure projects of common interests, such as CASA-1000 and the Rogun Hydropower Plant Project.
