Global GridTajikistan's energy mix and electricity
🇹🇯 In 2025, Tajikistan generated 23.9 TWh of electricity. Almost all of it, 94%, came from hydro. In total, 94% came from low-carbon sources (nuclear and renewables) and 5.8% from fossil fuels.
On average, each kilowatt hour produced about 74 grams of carbon dioxide (CO₂), far below the world average of 458 grams in 2025. That makes Tajikistan the 16th cleanest of 158 countries that generate at least 1 TWh a year.
Electricity demand was 18.7 TWh. Tajikistan exported 5.20 TWh more electricity than it imported.
Since 2000, electricity generation has grown by 68%, from 14.2 TWh. The low-carbon share went from 99% to 94%. The biggest rise was in coal, from 0% to 5% of generation. The biggest fall was in hydro, from 99% to 94%. Carbon intensity rose from 32 to 74 grams per kWh.

Energy security score
Strong. Tajikistan ranks 53rd of 158 countries and 9th of 46 in Asia. The score shows how well a country could keep electricity affordable and on if fuel supplies were disrupted. It is based on 4 of the 5 measures.
| Measure | Score |
|---|---|
| Produces its own energy No reliable figure exists for Tajikistan, so this measure is left out and the other four count for more. | n/a |
| Variety of power sources How evenly generation is spread across nine sources. The largest, hydro, made 94%. | 12 |
| Little reliance on imported power Tajikistan exported more electricity than it imported, so it scores full marks. | 100 |
| Low-carbon power Nuclear and renewables made 94% of generation. | 94 |
| Low gas and oil use Gas and oil made 1.1% of generation; the score is 100 minus that share. | 99 |
The five measures are weighted 30%, 20%, 20%, 15% and 15%. How the score works.
Oil and gas pipelines
Global Energy Monitor lists 406 km of oil and gas pipelines operating in Tajikistan, 0 km being built and 0 km proposed (lengths measured along the mapped routes; a pipeline crossing borders counts in full for each country).
