A solution for transboundary water and energy conflict in Central Asia is proposed. Benefits of energy storage beyond the energy sector are shown. Long duration energy storage is key for high shares of solar PV and wind energy in the region. An open-access, integrated water and energy system model of Central Asia is developed.
An open-access, integrated water and energy system model of Central Asia is developed. Central Asia's energy transition to a high share of renewable energy by 2050 is analyzed. Model for Energy Supply Systems Alternatives and their General Environmental Impact 1. Introduction
The energy transition implies difficult political decisions that governments and societies are not fully ready for. It also requires enhanced regional cooperation and coordination that would allow Central Asian countries to have more diversified and reliable energy systems. The obstacles are substantial but not unsurmountable.
Energy grids in Central Asia, inherited from the Soviet times, are run down and ineffective. Major investments are needed for upgrading them and making them sufficiently flexible to integrate intermittent resources into national power systems.
Benefits of energy storage beyond the energy sector are shown. Long duration energy storage is key for high shares of solar PV and wind energy in the region. An open-access, integrated water and energy system model of Central Asia is developed. Central Asia's energy transition to a high share of renewable energy by 2050 is analyzed.
Central Asia's electricity generation mix from 2020 to 2050. Assuming a high-renewable energy scenario with 66% of renewable electricity by 2050. The share of solar PV increases from 2% in 2020 to 34% of total electricity generation by 2050, and natural gas and coal generated electricity combined reduces from 73% in 2020 to 34% in 2050.

electricity and low-carbon fuels between Central Asia and other regions could have an impact on Central Asian energy systems, but it is not likely to be a main driver of their development – domestic demands, intra-regional trade, and fossil fuel exports are more important

Enabled by their mass deployment and ambitious policy support, innovations in solar cells, wind turbines, energy storage systems and grid technologies are becoming increasingly available at competitive costs. Going forward, the bigger the deployment, the more cost-efficient they will get, per Swanson''s law.
Central Asia is one of the regions that suffer the most prominent transboundary water and energy problems in the world. Effective transboundary water-energy resource management and cooperation are closely related with socioeconomic development and stability in the entire Central Asia. Similar to Central Asia, Northwest China has an arid climate and is …
