Abstract
  • This study examines the challenges and opportunities of strengthening Central Asia’s electricity grids - a vital step toward energy security, green transition, and economic development. Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Uzbekistan, and Ta¬jikistan are modernizing their grids, but face common structural constraints. These include ageing physical infrastructure, particularly at the distribution lev¬el, and the political sensitivity of tariff reforms needed to ensure sector sustain¬ability. Other challenges involve incomplete metering coverage, a growing share of renewables amid a shortage of storage and flexible generation capacity in downstream republics, and seasonal vulnerabilities linked to water availability.
