Tajikistan's Winter Energy Crisis - Electricity Supply and Demand Alternatives (Paperback)

Tajikistan suffers severe energy shortages in winter, caused by a
combination of low hydropower output during winter, when river fl
ows are low, and high demand driven by heating needs. Shortages
affect some 70 percent of the population, costing about 3 percent
of annual GDP. This fi gure excludes human and environmental costs,
as well as the serious negative effect on the business investment
climate. If no measures are undertaken to address this problem,
then current electricity shortages, estimated at about one-quarter
of winter demand (2,700 GWh), could increase to more than one-third
of winter demand (4,500 GWh) by 2016. The Government of Tajikistan
recognizes both the importance and challenges of energy security
and has therefore introduced various measures to help meet demand.
Tajikistan s Winter Energy Crisis explores a range of supply and
demand alternatives including thermal, run-of-river hydro, other
renewables, energy effi ciency, and demand management to further
inform its development partners on the country s efforts to meet
its winter energy demand. The study recommends that the Government
of Tajikistan accelerate its efforts in energy effi ciency and
demand management, including tariff reform; add new dual-fi red
thermal power supply to complement the existing hydropower supply
during winter; and pursue energy imports and rebuild regional
energy trade routes to leverage surplus electricity supply in
neighboring countries. Energy conservation and demand-side
management, effective resource management, and reduction alone
could address 40 percent of the shortages, including a signifi cant
package of economic measures at the main aluminum smelting plant.
The study suggests that by following these recommended actions
shortages could be signifi cantly reduced within 4 5 years and a
solid base for long-term energy established."
