How does Tajikistan improve its energy security?

Tajikistan seeks to strengthen its energy security by harnessing its vast hydropower potential and expanding coal production. Tajikistan's economy is among the least carbon-intensive in the region, with the carbon emissions intensity of GDP roughly 31% lower than global average.

How much energy does Tajikistan import?

In 2022, Tajikistan’s net energy imports amounted to 44,858 TJ, roughly 28% of total energy supply. In 2023, the oil and gas imports constitute the largest share of Tajikistan’s imports value, which is 16.78% (approximately $957,46 million).

Why should Tajikistan decarbonize its energy sector?

Transport and the production of heat and electricity account for over 50% of total energy-related CO2 emissions. Thus, decarbonizing the Tajikistan's energy sector is crucial to achieving the country’s ambitious carbon emissions reduction target under the Paris Agreement.

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.

Will Tajikistan scale up its electricity capacity by 2030?

The Tajikistan Development Strategy by 2030 aims to scale up its electricity capacity from 5.1 GW in 2021 to 10 GW, to enable 10 TWh of annual electricity export.

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.
