Silk Roads Renewable Energy Industry & Resources
In the world by sheer volume, China has more renewable energy production than any other nation, dwarfing all competition and tripling that of the U.S., the second most developed country. (Wikipedia didn’t phrase it this way, but that’s what the data shows.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_electricity_production_from_renewable_sources
Along the Silk Roads, India, Turkey, Pakistan, and Tajikistan have made the greatest efforts in the green revolution, after China.

AFGHANISTAN
Hydro: Energy in Afghanistan is primarily provided by hydropower. The decades of war have left the country's power grid badly damaged. As of 2012, approximately 33% of the Afghan population had access to electricity and in the capital Kabul, 70% had access to reliable 24-hour electricity.
According to Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS), Afghanistan generates around 300 megawatts (MW) of electricity mainly from hydropower followed by fossil fuel and solar. About 1,000 MW more is imported from neighboring Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. (Wikipedia Downloaded Oct. 20, 2017)
Solar: In 1991, a new 72-collector solar installation was completed in Kabul at a cost of $364 million. The installation heated 40,000 liters of water to an average temperature of 60 °C around the clock. The use of solar power is becoming widespread in Afghanistan.[10][11][12] Solar-powered street lights are seen in several Afghan cities and towns, including the capital Kabul. Many villagers in rural parts of the country are also buying solar panels and using them.
Geothermal, biogas, wind: Afghanistan has potential for these. They opened the first windfarm in Panjshir Province in 2008.

ARMENIA
Armenia has only one wind power farm located in the Lori Marz. The Armenian and Iranian energy sectors are currently jointly constructing the Iran-Armenia Wind Farm which is set to become the country's largest wind farm. (Wikipedia)
As of April 2010, thermal power plants (running on imported natural gas from Russia and Iran) provided about one-third of Armenia's electricity. (Wikipedia)
Thermal power plants (running on natural gas) in Armenia have an established capacity of 1,756 MW.
Hydropower plants have an established capacity of 1,038 MW. (Wikipedia)
The economically justified hydropower potential of Armenia is around 3.600 GWh/year. From this amount, 1.500 GWh/year (or about 42% of economically justified hydropower potential) has been developed already. (Wikipedia)
Armenia has 9 hydroelectric power plants which together accounted for 33% of its domestic electricity generation. The plants are grouped along two cascades: the Sevan–Hrazdan Cascade and the Vorotan Cascade. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_in_Armenia#Thermal_Power_Plants
AZERBAIJAN
Azerbaijan has good renewable energy resources. The wind, which blows more than 250 days per year and may generate 2.4 billion kWh of electricity annually, is the country’s preferred option because of its lower cost, environmental soundness and unlimited availability. Offering 2,400-3,200 hours of sunshine per year, Azerbaijan has also good potential for solar electricity and heat generation. While its technically feasible potential (16 billion kWh) remains underexploited, hydro power is currently the most developed renewable energy source. In 2011, it accounted for 9.8% of electricity production, against only 0.2% for other renewables. With 2 million tons of solid domestic and production waste annually sent to treatment sites, the country has also good potential for biomass energy. Finally, the exploitation of thermal waters could partially cover heat energy needs. http://www.east-invest.eu/en/Investment-Promotion/Azerbaijan-2/AZ-alternative-energy

http://www.hydropower.ge/user_upload/9.Renewable_Energy_Road_Map_for_Georgia.PDF
India was the first country in the world to set up a ministry of non-conventional energy resources, in the early 1980s. India's overall installed capacity has reached 329.4 GW, with renewables accounting for 57.472 GW as of 14 June 2017. 61% of the renewable power came from wind, while solar contributed nearly 19%.[1][2] Large hydro installed capacity was 44.41 GW[3] as of 28 February 2017 and is administered separately by the Ministry of Power and not included in MNRE targets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_energy_in_India
IRAN
HYDROELECTRIC POWER emerged as a renewable alternative in Iran in the 1950s. Iran, unlike most Middle Eastern states, is home to a vast network of rivers that allowed the country to rapidly scale its hydroelectric infrastructure until the early 2000s. Recent widespread droughts, however, have, greatly reduced Iran’s hydroelectric capacity.[ix]
Once contributing 14 percent of Iran’s base load energy supply, hydroelectric sources have been reduced to less than 5 percent, as river levels continue to fall. As a consequence, the deputy head of Tavanir recently stated that nearly all of Iran’s 50 hydroelectric plants have either halted generation or have seen their capacity diminished.
WINDPOWER: With 100,000 MW[xi] of potential installed capacity, Iran’s wind power potential could rival that of major wind developing countries such as France and Britain. Unsurprisingly, the Iranian government has given wind power priority over other R.E. sources due to the country’s topography and existing manufacturing and production capabilities. [xii]
A 5,000 MW increase of energy capacity due to new R.E. is anticipated by 2018. Roughly 4,500 MW of that capacity is expected to come from utility-scale wind farms throughout the country. Due to its strategic location along several major wind corridors[xiii], including Atlantic, Mediterranean and Indian Ocean currents, Iran’s northwest and northeast experience high winds year-round.
Iran’s Sixth Development Plan also provided for the installation of 500 MW of new solar capacity by 2018.[xx] Iran’s climate is diverse, and many of its regions are arid. Because the south, northwest and southeast regions receive around 300 days of sun per year, they are uniquely suited for solar energy.[xxi] The Iranian government has prioritized the central region in particular due to its climate and proximity to the national power grid. A series of deals with an unnamed German company to add around 550 MW of solar to the power grid were reportedly signed in August 2014 and are currently in development.

JORDAN
AMMAN, Sept. 19, 2017 (Xinhua) -- Jordan-based Arabia Trading and Consulting Co. Ltd will start building a 90 million U.S. dollars solar power plant in Jordan during the last quarter of this year after securing necessary finance, the state-run Petra news agency reported on Tuesday…
The plant, which will be located in Safawi area in the northeastern part of the country, will have a total capacity of 66.8 megawatts and will generate 150 million kilowatt hour per year, Mohannad Khalifah, the company's CEO, said. ordan, which imports 97 percent of its energy resources, is working on a strategy to implement several projects to increase the contribution of renewable energy to the overall energy mix to 10 percent by 2020.
At present, Jordan generates around 500 megawatts of electricity from solar and wind energy projects located in several parts of the country. http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2017-09/19/c_136621871.htm
KAZAKHSTAN
In the first quarter of 2016, the installed capacity of renewable energy facilities in Kazakhstan with the exception of large hydropower plants totaled 251.55 megawatts, which is 74 megawatts, or 1.4 times more than in the same period of 2015.
The main increase of the installed capacity accounted for solar and wind farms and amounted to 52.16 megawatts and 17.49 megawatts, respectively, for the year.
At the same time, the total production of "pure" electricity in the country in January-March 2016 amounted to 186.9 million kilowatt/hours compared to 82.3 million kilowatt/hours in the same period last year.
The main part of the generated electricity accounted for small hydropower plants (117.63 megawatts) and wind farms (59.76 megawatts). At the same time, the share of renewable energy facilities in the total volume of the electricity generated in Kazakhstan is 0.8 percent. 16 June 2016 09:55 (UTC+04:00) https://en.trend.az/business/economy/2546131.html

The lowest energy generation level is observed during autumn and winter periods (from October to April/May), while electric energy demand at this time is the highest. At the same time in summer electric energy supply is the most reliable, as energy surplus during this season may be up to 3-7 billion kWh. Excess of water leads to considerable water escapages, which potentially implies huge losses of the electric energy. Depending on the year hydrological conditions economic damage may reach 90-225 million US Dollars per year.

TURKEY
Turkey’s renewable energy sources are plentiful and extensive, and represent the second-largest domestic energy source after coal. Primary renewable energy resources in Turkey are: hydro, biomass, wind, biogas, geothermal and solar.
Geothermal energy
Turkey ranks 7th worldwide in geothermal resources which yield a potential of 2,000 MWe (electricity) and 31,500 MWt (thermal). However, the installed capacity is only 20 MWe and 1,077 MWt. A 52 MWe plant is currently under construction. The majority of geothermal resources in the country are found in Menderes Massif, in Western Anatolia.
Wind energy
Turkey has one of the highest potential for wind energy in Europe and there exists an economical potential of 10,000 MW. As of 2007, the installed capacity has increased to 200 MW, with a further 600 MW in construction. The Turkish Wind Energy Potential Atlas was developed in 2007. An estimated 5,000 MW of new wind capacity can be installed where the annual wind speed is higher than 8.5 m/s, with a further 48,000 MW where the annual wind speed is higher than 7.0 m/s.
Solar energy
Turkey lies in a sunny belt between 36º and 42ºN latitudes. The yearly average solar radiation is 3.6 kWh/m2/day, and the total yearly radiation period is approximately 2640 h, which is sufficient to provide adequate energy for solar thermal applications. Technical solar potential stands at 76 Mtoe. Photovoltaic applications in the country currently stand at around 1000 kW, and are mainly installed in areas where electricity transmission is not economically feasible. In spite of this high potential, solar energy is not now widely used, except for flat-plate solar collectors. In 2007, solar water heating produced roughly 400 ktoe in the country.
Hydro power
There are 436 sites available for hydroelectric plant construction, distributed on 26 main river zones. The total gross potential and total energy production of these sites are nearly 50 GW and 112 TWh/yr, respectively, and about 30% of the total gross potential may be economically exploitable. Installed capacity of hydroelectric plants in Turkey stood at 13,393 MW at the end of 2007. It is projected that hydroelectric power plant capacity will rise to 35,000 MW by the year 2020. Unused potential consists of many small hydro projects, which have traditionally been one of the most attractive options for private investors in Turkey.
Biomass energy
Considering the natural resources and extent of agro-economic infrastructure, Turkey also has a significant potential in biomass. As of 2003, 15 million tons of forest residues and 5.4 million tons of plant and animal wastes are used for the production of energy. However, it is estimated that around 50-60 million tons of animal wastes and 50-100 million tons of agro-industry wastes can be used for production of energy. Among the renewable energy sources, biomass is important because its share of total energy consumption is still high in Turkey. Since 1980, the contribution of the biomass resources in the total energy consumption dropped from 20% to 5% in 2008. Biogas production potential has been estimated at some 2 Mtoe. Biodiesel production capacity is 1.5 Mt and bioethanol production capacity is about 3 Mt per year. High targets have been set for 2015 in terms of biofuel production; 1,250,000 tonnes of biodiesel, and 735,000 tonnes of bioethanol.

TURKMENISTAN
The electrification rate in Turkmenistan is 99.6%. Electricity is mostly produced in 8 thermal power plants with an installed capacity of 3.3 GW. Electricity consumption by sector is the following: agriculture and forestry 31.8%, industry 36%, transport 2.6%, and residential 21%.
Turkmenistan's energy market is controlled by the State. Primary energy shares (in 2008) consisted of 72.4% gas and 27.6% oil. Most of the populations receives natural gas and electricity for free. Those who do pay, enjoy the world's lowest energy prices. Yet, inefficiency and waste are clearly a result of this policy. In addition, the power infrastructure, inherited from the Soviet era, is in bad shape and needs to be repaired. Power lines wasted a significant portion of electricity in 2006. The distribution system also suffers from severe power loss.
Demand for renewable energy sources in Turkmenistan is practically inexistent. Turkmenistan has relatively low potential for bioenergy, hydro power, and geothermal energy. 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. https://energypedia.info/wiki/Turkmenistan_Energy_Situation#Energy_Situation

UZBEKISTAN
Uzbekistan is one of the few countries which are fully self-sufficient in energy resources. It is the second largest of the Caspian gas producers (after Turkmenistan) and its abundant natural gas resources are used both for domestic consumption and export. [4]
Oil and natural gas comprise 97% of the country's energy balance. Primary energy shares consist of 86.3% gas, 1.9% hydro, 2.5% coal and peet, and 9.3% crude oil.
Uzbekistan is the largest electricity producer in Central Asia. Total national electricity capacity is 12.6 GW (as of 2007), of which 88.5% is provided by thermal power plants and 11.5% by hydropower plants. The price of electricity runs at 3.5 US Cent/kWh.
The national electrification rate is 94.4%, but electrical supply to rural areas is unreliable and of low quality. There are often power blackouts that last many hours per day. Renovating the power transmission networks is one of the energy sectors priorities. https://energypedia.info/wiki/Uzbekistan_Energy_Situation
Uzbekistan’s Ambitious Wind Power Target Signals New Energy Politics - After rolling out its renewable energy strategy through 2019 in April, the Central Asian Republic of Uzbekistan has set its sights on ambitious goals: Build three 100-MW solar power plants and generate more than 1 trillion kWh of electricity from dozens wind farms.
“The forecast potential for wind power capacity in 2019 is 520,000 MW. It is expected to come from wind plants built over the territory of 17,000 square meters. The capacity would allow us generate slightly over 1 trillion kWh of electricity per annum,” said Iskandar Basitov, deputy chairman of state-owned energy company Uzbekenergo. “And this is at a modest assessment.” By Linas Jegelevicius June 11, 2015 http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/articles/2015/06/uzbekistan-s-ambitious-wind-power-target-signals-new-energy-politics.html

NOW WORLD’S LARGEST – (China), Danish is second, U.S. is third in booming market
General Electric Co. has ceded its position as the world’s No. 1 wind turbine manufacturer to a Chinese competitor, according to 2015 market data compiled by Bloomberg New Energy Finance.
Xinjiang Goldwind Science & Technology Co. Ltd. received orders for 7.8 gigawatts of new wind turbines in 2015, exceeding GE, which dropped to No. 3 globally with 5.9 GW of new commissioned capacity, according to BNEF. Vestas Wind Systems A/S of Denmark attracted 7.3 GW of new orders in 2015, solidifying its No. 2 ranking in the global supply chain.
While Goldwind maintains a North American headquarters in Chicago and has provided turbines to several U.S. wind farms, BNEF said that almost all of the company’s recent growth was in the Chinese market, where wind power developers are riding an unprecedented boom. About 29 GW of new capacity came online in China last year alone (ClimateWire, Feb. 2).

NOTES
Editor’s note 1: One thing I learned compiling this data base is that numerous proposals need to be written to provide for increased energy needs in some developing countries, e.g. Afghanistan and Pakistan. China and India have existing companies manufacturing wind turbine, hydroelectric and other alternative energy production technologies. Surely proposals can be written to encourage building factories to produce alternative energy generating equipment in developing countries that need energy, industry and jobs.
Editor’s note 2: During the 20th Century petroleum exploration and refining led to the some of the greatest fortunes of the Century. It appears that renewable energy technology engineering and manufacturing may be one of if not the biggest growth industries in the 21st century. Some of the greatest fortunes of this century may come to those with the ability to write and implement creative contracts to supply the industrial engineering skills to build renewable energy technology factories in developing countries. This is an extremely exciting growth industry.
Editor’s Note 3: This industry is far too huge and specialized for me to make a complete survey. Experts are invited to improve upon the above basic outline.
