Energy consumption in Tajikistan

The most important figure in the energy balance of Tajikistan is the total consumption of

12.96 billion kWh

of electric energy per year. Per capita this is an average of 1,329 kWh.

Tajikistan could be self-sufficient with domestically produced energy. The total production of all electric energy producing facilities is 17 bn kWh, which is 131 percent of the country's own usage. Despite this, Tajikistan trades energy with foreign countries. Along with pure consumption, the production, imports and exports play an important role. Other energy sources, such as natural gas or crude oil are also used.

Energy Balance

Electricity	total	Tajikistan per capita	USA per capita
Own consumption	12.96 bn kWh	1,329.22 kWh	11,756.77 kWh
Production	17.03 bn kWh	1,746.66 kWh	12,338.29 kWh
Import	103.00 m kWh	10.56 kWh	219.11 kWh
Export	1.40 bn kWh	143.59 kWh	29.21 kWh
99.8% of the country's population (as of 2020) has access to electricity.In rural areas, the share was 100.0%
Crude Oil	Barrel/day	Tajikistan per capita	USA per capita
Production	180.00 bbl	0.000 bbl	0.033 bbl
In 2018 there were still 12.00 m barrels of recoverable but not yet used crude oil reserves in the currently known deposits of Tajikistan. Worldwide, there are still proved oil reserves totaling around 1.6 tn billion barrels. Tajikistan therefore has a share of 0.001% and ranks 88th out of 98 countries with crude oil reserves.
Natural Gas	Cubic meters	Tajikistan per capita	USA per capita
Own consumption	19.82 m m³	2.03 m³	2,312.79 m³
Production	19.82 m m³	2.03 m³	2,328.46 m³

Production capacities per energy source

The given production capacities for electric energy have a theoretical value, which can only be obtained under ideal conditions. They are measuring the generatable amount of energy, that would be reached under permanent and full use of all capacities of all power plants.

In practice this isn't possible, because e.g. solar collectors are less efficient under clouds. Also wind- and water-power plants are not always operating under full load. All these values are only useful in relation to other energy sources or countries.

Energy source	total in Tajikistan	Percentage in Tajikistan	Percentage USA	per capita in Tajikistan	per capita USA
Fossil fuels	2.90 bn kWh	6,0 %	70,0 %	296.92 kWh	20,083.19 kWh

Usage of renewable energies

Renewable energy includes wind, solar, biomass and geothermal energy sources. This means all energy sources that renew themselves within a short time or are permanently available. Energy from hydropower is only partly a renewable energy. This is certainly the case with river or tidal power plants. Otherwise, numerous dams or reservoirs also produce mixed forms, e.g. by pumping water into their reservoirs at night and recovering energy from them during the day when there is an increased demand for electricity. Since it is not possible to clearly determine the amount of generated energy, all energy from hydropower is displayed separately.

In 2019, renewable energy accounted for around 38.6 percent of actual total consumption in Tajikistan. The following chart shows the percentage share from 1990 to 2019:
