Cooperation between the European Union (EU) and Tajikistan in the field of renewable energy (RE) is entering a new phase in 2026. While previous interactions mainly involved technical assistance and advisory support, the focus now is on large-scale investments, institutional reforms, and integrating energy priorities into a broader economic and digital dialogue under the EU’s Global Gateway strategy.

Tajikistan, which possesses one of the largest hydropower potentials in Central Asia, holds a special place in the EU’s regional strategy. As a European Commission representative told Trend in an exclusive interview, Brussels’ priorities in the country are clearly structured.

"The EU’s Global Gateway initiative aims to strengthen sustainable connectivity and infrastructure worldwide. In Central Asia, and specifically in Tajikistan, our cooperation focuses on four priority areas: water/energy/climate, transport, digital connectivity, and critical raw materials," the spokesperson said.
