FAQS about Tajikistan Energy Storage New Energy Industry and Commerce

Why should Tajikistan invest in hydropower?

Tajikistan’s geographic proximity to some of the world’s fastest-growing energy markets means that investing in developing its hydropower potential can contribute to regional energy security and the clean energy transition, in addition to addressing Tajikistan’s high vulnerability to climate change and natural disasters.

Does Tajikistan have a mining industry?

Despite its vast mineral resources, many are not mined or are mined primitively. However, as future demand for critical raw materials increases amidst developments in the global energy transition, Tajikistan’s mining industry holds much untapped potential. Coal currently significantly contributes to Tajikistan’s energy mix.

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 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.

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).
