Central Asia's energy narrative is one of rich resources and evolving ambition. This landlocked region, historically reliant on fossil fuels, is steadily diversifying its energy mix. Abundant reserves of natural gas and oil remain crucial, yet Central Asia is increasingly harnessing its vast renewable potential, particularly in solar and hydropower. Countries are actively pursuing energy independence and regional cooperation, driven by a desire to enhance energy security and access. While modernization of infrastructure and attracting investment are ongoing challenges, Central Asia's commitment to sustainable development and its strategic location make it a significant player in the evolving Eurasian energy landscape.
