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.

Can Tajikistan's solar power be harnessed to meet energy-policy goals?

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

Why should Tajikistan invest in hydropower?

In addition to its vast hydropower export potential, Tajikistan’s hydrogen production potential and reserves of critical raw materials, such as manganese, lead, aluminum and zinc, should be leveraged to enable Tajikistan’s energy transition and to generate novel export revenue streams.

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.
