2008 Central Asia energy crisis
The 2008 Central Asia energy crisis was an energy shortage in Central Asia, which, combined with the severe weather of the 2007-08 winter (the coldest since 1969〔GHCN Climate data for Tashkent 1880 to 2008〕) and high prices for food and fuel, caused considerable hardship for many. The abnormally cold weather has pushed demand up for electricity, exacerbating the crisis. The situation is most dire in Tajikistan. An international appeal was been made by the United Nations, NGOs, and the Red Cross and Red Crescent for around US$25 million to assist the government.〔(Situation Report No. 4 – Tajikistan – Cold Wave/Compound crisis (25 February 2008) ) United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs〕 The crisis has been ongoing and the UN has warned that millions face starvation during the 2008-09 winter.〔(Tajikistan: Almost One-Third of the Population Is in Danger of Going Hungry This Winter | EurasiaNet.org )〕

Tajikistan has the greatest capacity for hydroelectric power in the region (over 300 terawatt-hours (TWh) annually), but during the winter it is often dependent on importing electricity from Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan in no small part because the water used for hydroelectricity freezes, and demand increases. However, because of shortages in those countries as well, electricity supplies have been severely restricted.〔 Furthermore, Uzbekistan cut natural gas supplies to Tajikistan on January 24 for payment delays. The amount of water in the reservoirs is at a record low.〔 〕 The giant Nurek reservoir has fallen to six meters, a worryingly low level according to energy sector representatives. Snowmelt to replenish the reservoirs is not expected until late March or April.
