Turkmenistan Commercial Solar Power Generation System

What is the solar potential of Turkmenistan?

Average Theoretical Solar Potential: 4.4 kWh/m2, roughly 655 GW of additional capacity. Potential: Turkmenistan, with the world’s fourth-largest natural gas reserves, is strategically positioned for hydrogen energy development, as 68% of global hydrogen production is derived from natural gas, making it the most cost-effective method.

Why should Turkmenistan upgrade the United energy system of Central Asia?

Upgrading the United Energy System of Central Asia is essential to reduce transmission losses and increase efficiency. Enhanced interconnectivity will diversify export routes, improve energy system flexibility, and support decarbonization, ultimately integrating Turkmenistan into global energy markets.

What is Turkmenistan doing to improve energy interconnectivity?

To support these initiatives, Turkmenistan is improving energy interconnectivity with neighbors and expanding its transmission network into Europe and South Asia. Key projects include the Trans-Caspian Pipeline (TCP) and the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) gas pipeline.

What is the wind energy potential in Turkmenistan?

Total wind energy potential: According to the World Bank estimation, the technical wind offshore power potential exceeds 70 GW, which is 10 times the capacity of all power plants in Turkmenistan in 2022. Onshore Wind Potential: 10 GW, 222W/m2 at a height of 50m.
