Tajikistan is a mountainous country, with hydropower resources which are unique by their reserves. However, having a sharply continental climate, the country has a distinct shortage of energy in autumn and winter and a limited sales market in spring and summer time. The special role of energy in economic development and social significance of the population's access to the energy carriers predetermine a particular relevance of prediction of energy security threats and search of security measures. The paper substantiates threats of the energy security of the national economy, proposes mechanisms for their lessening and neutralization. The authors give proof of the potential energy business development in the direction of increasing exports of electric energy (power) and the strengthening of geopolitical importance of the Tajik water and energy sector.

Increasing energy efficiency leads to the fact that companies operating on renewable energy sources are gaining more weight in the sector and becoming more competitive. It is not easy to manage companies working with renewable energy sources since it requires fully transparent management. Digitalization comes into play with management software that optimizes processes and energy services and solves their problems in terms of development and productivity. Over the coming decades, digital technologies are set to make energy systems around the world more connected, intelligent, efficient, reliable, and sustainable. Digitalized energy systems in the future may be able to identify who needs energy and deliver it at the right place and at the lowest cost. The article is devoted to studying digitalization in the energy sector on the viability of energy companies. The authors note the positive impact of digitalization on the viability of energy companies. Tajikistan already has a positive experience in the use of Smart energy metering systems. A key factor in the success of digitalization transformation is the availability of highly qualified personnel and appropriate jobs, as well as a training system for specialists with certain competencies for the development and implementation of digital technologies. The success of digital transformation will depend on how effectively Tajikistan can mobilize human and financial resources for such an ambitious initiative.
