What is Tajikistan's hydropower potential?

Tajikistan's theoretical hydropower potential is estimated at over 527 billion kWh annually—enough to meet Central Asia's energy consumption three times over. The Roghun Hydropower Project is the centerpiece of Tajikistan's energy strategy. Designed with a capacity of 3,600–3,780 MW, the dam is projected to generate approximately 17 TWh annually.

Is Tajikistan expanding its solar energy capacity?

Tajikistan is rapidly expanding its solar energy capacity, with several large-scale projects underway:

Is Tajikistan a green country?

Tajikistan aims to add up to 1,500 MW of solar and wind capacity over the next two years, targeting renewables to comprise 10 percent of its energy mix by 2030. The country is committed to achieving a fully green energy transition by 2032 and a green economy by 2037.
