Turkmenistan Energy Report: Modernization & Renewable Push
To maximize efficiency, Turkmenistan is also exploring hybrid renewable energy systems that combine solar and wind power with advanced storage technologies.
Total wind energy potential: According to the World Bank estimation, the technical wind offshore power potential exceeds 70 GW, which is 10 times the capacity of all power plants in Turkmenistan in 2022. Onshore Wind Potential: 10 GW, 222W/m2 at a height of 50m.
To assess wind energy resources within Turkmenistan, wind speed values at different heights are used. Wind directions, repeatability, strength and speed were determined.
Average Theoretical Solar Potential: 4.4 kWh/m2, roughly 655 GW of additional capacity. Potential: Turkmenistan, with the world's fourth-largest natural gas reserves, is strategically positioned for hydrogen energy development, as 68% of global hydrogen production is derived from natural gas, making it the most cost-effective method.
Turkmenistan possesses significant renewable energy potential, particularly in solar and wind energy. The country benefits from nearly 300 sunny days annually, with average solar irradiation of 5.5–6.5 kilowatt-hours per square meter per day, making it suited to large-scale solar projects.
