Tajikistan to Launch 400 MW Solar Auctions with EBRD Support
Tajikistan is preparing to initiate solar photovoltaic (PV) auctions for a total of 400 megawatts (MW) of capacity, with assistance from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). This initiative is part of Tajikistan's broader strategy to add between 1.5 gigawatts (GW) and 3 GW of wind and solar capacity by 2030, aligning with its National Development Strategy 2030 and climate goals. Despite hydropower being the primary source of electricity, the government has prioritized solar PV development. The EBRD will aid in revising the legislative framework and establishing a competitive bidding process for solar projects. The initiative aims to overcome challenges such as mountainous terrain, grid-connection issues, and financial sustainability concerns.
