Solar farm cost Tajikistan

What is the capacity of a solar power plant in Tajikistan?

The solar power station has a capacity of 220 kW. For comparison, the capacity of the smallest hydropower plant in Tajikistan – Varzob Hydropower Plant-3 is 3.52 MW, and the largest operating hydroelectric power plant – Nurek – 3000 MW and it generates 70% of electricity consumed in Tajikistan.

How much solar energy can be used in Tajikistan?

Preliminary calculations of the Ministry of Energy of Tajikistan have shown that the potential for the use of solar energy is 3,103 billion kWh per year. This amount would be enough to cover the winter power shortage partially in Tajikistan in regions of the country where 70% of the population lives.

According to the Agency of Hydrometeorology of Tajikistan, the duration of sunshine in the country is 2100-3166 hours per year, and the number of sunny days per year ranges from 260 to 300. This provides great opportunities for the use of solar energy as an alternative, especially in mountainous regions where there are no power lines.

Which generating plant generates the most electricity in Uzbekistan?

The 3,000 MW Nurek HPP, with a seasonal reservoir, is the largest generating plant. It generates 50 percent of the total annual energy and is also the balancing plant in the system. Electricity exports increased from 1,350 GWh to almost 3,000 GWh in 2019 due to resumption of exports to Uzbekistan.

What is the power supply mix in Tajikistan?

Electricity supply mix is dominated by hydropower and, as of today, the countries’ generation pool does not include any other renewable power at utility scale. The total installed generation capacity of Tajikistan is 6,058 MW (Figure 1) and HPPs account for 88 percent.
