Tajikistan is set to implement its first large-scale solar energy project with a total installed capacity of 500 MW.
On January 13, an investment agreement was signed between the Government of Tajikistan and Ayon Energy LLC for the construction and commissioning of two photovoltaic power plants: a 250 MW solar power plant in Asht district and a 250 MW solar power plant in Jayhun district, according to the State Committee on Investment and State Property Management.
This solar power project is being implemented for the first time in the history of Tajikistan at such a large installed capacity, serving as a clear example of the country’s transition toward the use of alternative and renewable energy sources.
The power plants will contribute to strengthening the country’s energy independence, reducing seasonal electricity shortages, particularly during the winter period, easing the load on the national power system, and ensuring reliable and sustainable electricity supply for the population and the economy.
Under the project, the investor commits to completing the design, construction, and commissioning of the power plants in 2026.
The total investment volume amounts to USD 250 million.
The project represents a significant step by Tajikistan toward green energy, a sustainable economy, and an environmentally clean future, while laying a solid foundation for achieving long-term energy independence.
