Tajikistan's power grid generation-side energy storage subsidies

📌

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.

📌

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 .

📌

Does Tajikistan have a power system?

The existing electrical transmission and distribution systems of Tajikistan, designed in the 1970s during the Soviet era, are also being upgraded and expanded, allowing transmission of power from Tajikistan to surrounding countries.

📌

Are energy tariffs subsidized in Tajikistan?

Energy Tariffs, notably electricity and heating tariffs, are subsidized in Tajikistan to alleviate poverty. Indeed, nearly 50% of families in Tajikistan live below the poverty line. Yet, tariffs have also been subsidized for large industrial consumers such as the aluminum producer TALCO and for the agricultural sector.

📌

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.

📌

What is Tajikistan's national development strategy?

Tajikistan’s National Development Strategy, launched in , focuses on strengthening energy security through the development of its hydropower potential and diversifying energy sources. Despite producing 19,924 GWh of electricity in , the country has tapped into only 3.5% of its hydropower potential.
