Tajikistan welcomes UAE investment partnerships in energy
Sulton Rahimzoda, Chairman of the State Committee on Investments and State Property Management of the Republic of Tajikistan, affirmed that his country offers promising investment opportunities, particularly in renewable energy and green industries, in line with global efforts toward sustainable development and carbon reduction. Speaking to the Emirates News Agency (WAM) on the sidelines of the AIM Summit 2025 in Abu Dhabi, Rahimzoda noted that Tajikistan holds significant untapped hydropower potential – ranked 8th globally – but only 5 per cent of this capacity is currently utilised. He added that solar energy is another investment priority, with Tajikistan enjoying more than 300 sunny days annually, making it ideal for clean energy projects amid technological advances and lower production costs. Rahimzoda emphasised his country's commitment to leveraging its natural and human resources within a sustainable development framework, welcoming strategic partnerships with friendly nations -- especially in energy, industry, tourism, agriculture and advanced technologies. He highlighted Tajikistan's rich reserves of strategic minerals essential to the global green economy transition, including 10 out of 12 key minerals, and noted the country is among the world's top producers of antimony. With its combination of green electricity and mineral wealth, Tajikistan is well-positioned to host low-emission, value-added industries, especially as global demand grows for green-certified products and carbon tax exemptions. Rahimzoda called on UAE investors to explore Tajikistan's opportunities, particularly in renewable energy, organic agriculture and light industries. He cited the national aluminium company as a prime example of green industry leadership, being one of the top five global producers of "green aluminium" using clean energy. Regarding the business environment, he noted that the government has introduced more than 240 investor guarantees, including over 110 tax and customs incentives. Investors also enjoy flexibility in choosing cooperation models—whether direct partnerships, investment contracts, or joint ventures. Investment agreements with the government carry legal weight, as they require parliamentary ratification, demonstrating the state's commitment to investor protection and support. Rahimzoda revealed that Tajikistan is currently implementing its National Investment Strategy through 2040, with a focus on attracting green investments, strengthening private sector partnerships, and enhancing the ease of doing business. On regional and international cooperation, he underlined Tajikistan's strategic location along the historic Silk Road and its shared borders with China, Afghanistan and Iran, positioning it as a hub for major regional projects. He pointed to the Rogun Hydropower Project, one of the region's largest with a planned capacity of 3,600 megawatts, which will support water security, reduce emissions, and supply clean power locally and regionally. Rahimzoda also highlighted CASA-1000, a joint clean energy project with Kyrgyzstan, Afghanistan and Pakistan, expected to begin electricity transmission by 2027. Additionally, Tajikistan is working with Uzbekistan on two joint hydropower stations along the Zarafshan River, reinforcing economic integration and regional cooperation.
