BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 6. Tajikistan has huge solar energy potential, Trend reports with reference to the Asia Wind Energy Association.

"The climate of Tajikistan is very favorable for the use of solar energy, with 280-330 sunny days per year. Use of available solar energy in Tajikistan can meet 10-20 percent of local energy demand," the association said.

According to Asia Wind Energy Association estimates, Tajikistan has solar energy potential of roughly 25 billion kWh per year but, this potential is not used, if not to take into account some of its use for water heating.

There is small wind energy potential in Tajikistan, but its use as a complementary main hydropower is justified in some regions. The strongest winds are observed in mountainous areas of Tajikistan, in the Sughd region and the Rasht Valley, where the fiercest winds are frequently reported with the average wind speed between 5 and 6 m/sec.
