Central Asia’s vast green energy potential is beginning to attract international suitors. With the know-how and the financing, next-door China is primed to take advantage. But is it interested? “It sounds like a cliché that one might hear about many places in the world, but Central Asia’s potential for renewable energy is truly huge and underutilized,” Indra Overland of the Norwegian Institute for International Affairs told
Eurasianet. “However, so far, developments have been very slow.”
Hydropower is the dominant renewable source in Central Asia. But hydropower can rouse cross-border tensions. It is also criticized for its environmental impact. Another resource Central Asia has in abundance is sunshine. With the region’s ample free space, solar and wind – which currently contribute negligible power – appear an attractive way to ease outages, energy poverty, and emissions.
