Turkmenistan's main energy sources are oil and gas. While it does have tremendous wind and solar power with 300 sunny days per year (equaling 2,00 kW/m²/yr) and wind potential equal to the country's fossil fuel potential, its wealth of oil and gas overshadow these potentials.
Electricity consumption by sector is the following: agriculture and foresty 31.8%, industry 36%, transport 2.6%, and residential 21%. The electrification rate in Turkmensitan is 99.6%. Electricity is mostly produced in 8 thermal power plants with an installed capacity of 3.3 GW. Turkmenistan's energy market is controlled by the State.
Turkmenistan's oil reserves are primarily located offshore or in the Garashyzlyk area west of the country. The government of Turkmenistan has been developing the offshore Cheleken project since the mid-1990s, which it has opened up to some foreign investment, including UAE's Dragon Oil.
This also applies to the Electricity from other renewable sources indicator. According to the primary statistics, Turkmenistan has a relatively good electricity generation to consumption ratio (0.77) and high ratio of Primary energy use per capita (0.83).
