Tajikistan energy storage exports for home use

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.

The Government of Tajikistan aims to transform itself from a net energy importer to a net energy exporter, on the strength of its potential for hydropower and solar power production. According to the World Bank, Tajikistan's power production is 92 percent hydropower, six percent hydrocarbon, and two percent from other sources.

Based on close co-ordination with the Academy of Sciences and its public research institutions, relevant ministries, national enterprises, SMEs, international financial institutions (IFIs), and other bilateral or multilateral donors in the energy sector. Hydropower is the main source of energy in Tajikistan, followed by imported oil, gas and coal.

However, Tajikistan's energy sector is prone to supply shocks, due to seasonal shortages. Energy policy focuses on providing uninterrupted energy access to all users while improving regional co‑operation and energy sector efficiency, but significant domestic and foreign investment will be necessary for continued energy sector development.

Tajikistan's extractive industries produce primarily for export, with the notable exceptions of raw materials used for cement production, gold used to bolster national currency reserves, and coal, oil, and natural gas consumed domestically for energy.

In Tajikistan, exports averaged 97.85 USD Million from 2000 until 2023. The country's exports reached an all-time high of 431.10 USD Million in March 2021 and a record low of 35.10 USD Million in October 2014. Aluminium and cotton account for over 75 percent of Tajikistan's exports. source: State Statistical Committee of the Republic of Tajikistan
