Technology Transfer and Market Development for Small-Hydropower in Tajikistan

The project accelerated the development of small-scale hydropower (SHP) generation in Tajikistan by removing barriers through enabling legal and regulatory framework, capacity building and developing sustainable delivery models, thus substantially avoiding the use of conventional biomass and fossil fuels for power and other energy needs. It was done by introducing a regulatory framework to supply the grid with electricity generated SHP through sustainable delivery models and financing mechanisms and assist the Government in attracting funding for SHP investments.

Improving the Energy Efficiency of Municipal Heating and Hot Water Supply

The objective of the project was to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the municipal heat and hot water supply systems in Kazakhstan and to lay the foundation for the sustainable development of these services taking into account local as well as global environmental considerations. Within the project the following outputs were achieved:
(1) assistance to the Government of the RoK in review and revision of existing regulatory and legal regulations on municipal heat supply, paying attention to issues of tariff policy and payment for actual consumption of heat to incite and promote energy efficiency;
(2) development end enforcement of new institutional and financial models for finance leverage into energy efficiency in heat supply;
(3) compilation, analysis and dissemination of the project experience and lessons learnt with the purpose of their effective replication in Kazakhstan and other CIS-countries.

Central Asia Energy – Water Development Program

CAEWDP was formally established as a trust fund in 2010 by the Government of Switzerland and the World Bank. The Program supports the Central Asian (CA) countries (Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan) and the World Bank’s twin goals to reduce poverty and ensure shared prosperity through long-term
economic growth and sustainability. By balancing donor support with national and regional objectives, CAEWDP is able to enhance cooperation and the promotion of integrated energy and water development initiatives at the regional as well as national levels. The Program activities address the three pillars of Energy Development, Water Productivity,
and Energy-Water Linkages by producing three outcomes: support for diagnostics and analysis,
preparation of investments, and the strengthening of national and regional institutions.
In 2014, CAEWDP underwent a transformational change, as the focus of CAEWDP activities evolved from diagnostics and analytics to technical assistance (TA) and investment identification.
