Eging PV Technology is set to build a 200 MW solar facility in the Panj Free Economic Zone in Khatlon province, Tajikistan.
Construction is set to begin in July, with the first of four phases planned for completion in March 2025. The plant’s initial manufacturing capacity is expected to stand at 5,000 MW, according to a statement from the president’s press service. Once fully operational, it will provide 8,000 jobs, with 95% allocated to Tajik citizens.
In October 2023, plans were announced for 500 MW of renewables in Tajikistan, including floating PV installations. The country has set a target of generating 1 GW of energy from renewable sources by 2030.
According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Tajikistan did not have any installed PV capacity at the end of 2023.
