DUSHANBE, Tajikistan, March 30. The development
of Central Asia’s electricity sector has established the important
role of upstream countries such as Tajikistan in regional energy
cooperation, Trend
reports, citing the Eurasian Development Bank (EDB).
According to the information, the region’s power system covers
southern Kazakhstan, as well as Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan,
Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, with coordinated management ensuring
efficient use of water and energy resources across the region.
The Bank notes that, upstream countries, including Tajikistan,
manage water resources in summer to supply hydropower to downstream
states, while receiving electricity and fuel during winter
periods.
The report emphasizes that this approach highlights the benefits
of coordinated regional management and can support the development
of balanced and cooperative energy systems in Central Asia.
Meanwhile, in Tajikistan, hydropower and regional energy
cooperation are actively developing, with the country managing
water resources in summer to supply electricity to downstream
states and participating in coordinated electricity and fuel
exchanges during winter.
