actively promoting the expansion of renewable energy usage, head of
the investment Department at the Ministry of Energy and Water
Resources of Tajikistan Naim Rahimzoda said, Trend reports.
He made the statement during a regional seminar on enhancing the
sustainability and investment appeal of hydropower projects.
"Over 95 percent of our country's electricity is generated from
hydropower. This stems from Tajikistan's significant hydropower
potential, which stands at 527 billion kilowatt-hours annually,
surpassing the total hydropower potential of the entire region at
400 billion kilowatt-hours. To date, only about 5 percent of this
potential has been harnessed. Nonetheless, Tajikistan is committed

production using renewable energy resources and aims to transform
the country into a "green" nation by 2037.
