The Badakhshan integrated renewable energy project by Shandong Electrical Engineering & Equipment Group Co Ltd (SDEE) has recently been commissioned on the Pamir Plateau in Tajikistan. This pioneering project is the first in the country to combine wind power, solar power, and energy storage. SDEE was responsible for project stages such as the overall design, supply, construction, commissioning, and operations.

The project features 30 distributed wind and solar energy power storage stations across 22 cities and towns in Badakhshan autonomous region. By replacing fossil fuels with clean energy, it will alleviate the local energy shortage. Furthermore, it is expected to save approximately 5,000 metric tons of standard coal annually and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 14,000 tons. This will reduce the erosion of glaciers on the Pamir Plateau caused by greenhouse gas emissions.
