Highlights

  • The updated NDC aims to reduce GHG emissions by 20% by 2030 (compared to 2010).
  • Three state-owned companies have a dominant position: Turkmengaz for gas, Turkmenoil for oil, and Turkmenergo for power.
  • Turkmenistan has the world's 5th largest natural gas reserves and is the 8th largest gas exporter.
  • Power generation is 100% from gas.
  • Gas is by far the main energy source, supplying around 70% of total consumption.
  • Gasoline and diesel prices are two times lower than in Russia and 20% lower than in Kazakhstan.
  • Turkmenistan aims to more than double its gas exports to China thanks to the commissioning of Line D of the Central Asia-China pipeline.

  • Energy & Climate Policy Framework

    The Ministry of Energy supervises the electricity sector.

    The country's priority is to develop gas exports and, to a lesser extent, oil exports.

  • Energy Companies

    Oil:

    Turkmenoil (Türkmennebit, also called Turkmenneft in Russian) is the national oil production company. It supplies 90% of the country's production; the rest is provided by Turkmengaz (3%) and several foreign companies. Monument Oil (United Kingdom) and ExxonMobil are the main companies operating in the offshore fields, while Petronas and Dragon Oil operate the main onshore fields.

  • Energy Supply & Demand

    Oil:

    Crude oil production has been decreasing since a peak at 13 Mt in 2015 to 10 Mt in 2024(-2.5%/year).

    The country has a refining capacity of 271 kb /d, distributed mainly over 2 refineries (Seydi, 120 kb/d and Türkmenbaşy 116 kb/d).

  • Energy Use and Price by Sector

    Energy Prices in Residential:

    Electricity subsidies formally started in 1993 and, due to a drop in energy prices, the government decided to limit the quantity of electricity supplied free of charge to the population in 2017 (35 kWh/month from 1993 to 2016 and 25 kWh until October 2017). The country formally stopped providing free electricity to its citizens in 2019.

  • Issues & Prospects

    Foreign investments tend to be more diversified, mainly focusing on the energy sector, but with a growing share allocated to chemicals, especially fertilizers. In total, Turkmenistan planned to spend US$46bn in the oil sector over 2017-2025.

The Turkmenistan energy market data since 1990 and up to is included in the Excel file accompanying the Turkmenistan country report.
It showcases the historical evolution, allowing users to easily work with the data.

Key Data included in the excelsheet:

  • Economic indicators: Annual historical economic indicators, energy security, energy efficiency and CO2 emissions.
  • Supply indicators: Annual historical reserves, capacity, production and external trade (imports(+) exports(-) balance).
  • Demand indicators: Annual historical consumption per capita, consumption trends, total consumption, final consumption (per energy and per sector) and electricity consumption total and per sector.
  • Energy Balance: total and per energy.
  • Turkmenistan Energy Prices: In addition to the analysis provided on the report we also provided a data set which includes historical details on the Turkmenistan energy prices for the follow items: price of premium gasoline (taxes incl.), price of diesel (taxes incl.), price of electricity in industry (taxes incl.), price of electricity for households (taxes incl.), price of natural gas in industry (taxes incl.), prices of natural gas for households (taxes incl.), spot price of Brent and CO2 emissions (from fuel combustion).
