Tajikistan’s energy mix is dominated by hydropower, which produces over 90-94% of the country’s electricity, making it one of the world’s cleanest electricity generators. The remaining electricity is generated from coal (roughly 4-7%) and natural gas. While renewable-heavy, the system faces seasonal shortages in winter, causing increased reliance on coal-fired generation during those months.
Tajikistan plans to produce 1 million metric tons of green hydrogen annually by 2040, utilizing its abundant hydropower resources to meet domestic demand and export to neighboring Central Asian nations. The strategy, targeting 500,000 tons by 2030, aims to diversify energy sources, reduce reliance on oil imports, and transition toward a green economy.
