Along with huge hydropower resources, Tajikistan has rich solar and wind energy resources that are still untapped. According to analyses, the economically viable solar potential is 369,600 MW, and wind potential is 4,485 MW. This was announced at the 3rd International Conference "Prospects for the Development of Renewable Energy in the Republic of Tajikistan", which began today in Dushanbe. This was reported by NIAT "Khovar" with reference to the Ministry of Energy and Water Resources of the Republic of Tajikistan.
The 3rd International Conference "Prospects for the Development of Renewable Energy in the Republic of Tajikistan" was organized on the initiative of the Ministry of Energy and Water Resources of the Republic of Tajikistan jointly with the Association of Renewable Energy Sources of Tajikistan and development partners and is considered an important platform for coordinating international efforts towards the development of "green" energy. It is attended by representatives of relevant ministries and departments, research centers, civil society organizations, domestic and foreign scientists and experts, development partners.
At the official opening ceremony of the conference, Deputy Minister of Energy and Water Resources of the Republic of Tajikistan Manuchehr Safarzoda noted that the Republic of Tajikistan has huge hydropower resources, and currently only 5% of these resources are used.
