Central Asian winter power and gas shortfall.

// The hypothesis

Declining gas output and ageing infrastructure leave Central Asian grids short during a severe winter.

6 Central Asian economies · gas + power

// Modelled impact

Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan ration gas, hydro-dependent Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan impose blackouts, and landlocked Mongolia faces costly fuel imports.
