Механизм совместного использования ресурсов, который обеспечивал достаточные и надежные поставки энергоресурсов в рамках Центрально-азиатской энергетической системы (ЦАЭС), распался в середине 2000-х гг. Новая энергетическая политика, направленная на создание независимых, но, по сути, изолированных от соседей национальных систем, не только угрожает энергетической безопасности стран региона, но и в различной степени препятствует социально-экономическому развитию Центральной Азии. В попытке смягчить негативное влияние созданных независимых энергетических систем, Азиатский Банк Развития (АБР) поддержал программу Центрально-азиатского регионального экономического сотрудничества (ЦАРЭС), которая была разработана в качестве одного из ключевых инструментов обеспечения надежного доступа к энергоресурсам. Работа ЦАРЭС направлена на решение проблемы неравномерного распределения и сезонных колебаний производства энергии в регионе, что, в свою очередь, должно привести к повышению уровня жизни и экономическому росту. Приоритетным направлением ЦАРЭС стало укрепление регионального сотрудничества в энергетическом секторе. Данная статья проанализирует степень вклада инициатив ЦАРЭС в повышение энергетической безопасности и стимулирование экономического роста в Центральной Азии через региональные энергетические проекты.

The resource-sharing mechanism, which ensured sufficiency and reliability of energy supplies within the Central Asian energy system (CAES) collapsed soon after the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Isolationist energy policies, both in terms of full self-reliance and self-control, without the establishment of self-sustaining independent energy systems, not only threatened security of energy supplies, but also, to a different extent, hampered the socio-economic development in Central Asia. In an attempt to mitigate the negative impact of the new energy policies, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) supported Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) was introduced as one of the key programs to ensure sustainable access of the population and economies to energy. One of the top priority areas has been strengthening regional cooperative dynamics in the energy sector. Primarily focusing on regional cooperation CAREC attempts to solve the problem of uneven distribution and seasonal variation of energy production in the region, assuming that this would lead to better standards of life and economic growth. This article aims to analyze the extent of contribution of CAREC energy initiatives to improve energy security and promote energy–led economic growth in Central Asia through regional energy projects.
