Tajikistan
The power system of the country is undergoing radical transformation and rapid modernization. Under World Bank guidance, Barki Tojik has spun off its power transmission
Total final consumption (TFC) was 3.1 Mtoe in 2020, of which electricity accounted for 43%, oil 34%, coal 16%, and the remaining 7% from natural gas and district heat. The share of electricity in Tajikistan's TFC is among the highest in the world. It is noteworthy that the contribution of bioenergy is not systematically tracked.
Since then, Tajikistan has improved energy demand data collection with support from the World Bank by developing and piloting three new surveys, including the first household energy consumption survey in 2016 (TajStat, 2018), which is to be commended.
The use of biomass (mainly animal dung) is also very popular in Tajikistan. The subsidised price for the population in 2021 for heating was TJS 1 18 (Tajikistan somoni) per square metre (including VAT). For state-funded organisations it was TJS 98 67 for 1 Gcal (excluding VAT). Other consumers pay TJS 113 46 for 1 Gcal (excluding VAT).
Tajikistan's energy intensity has decreased notably in recent decades (-59% in 2000-2020). This is due to GDP growing over fourfold during the period, whereas energy consumption (measured by TFC) less than doubled.
