В статье инициируется дискуссия по одной из наиболее актуальных проблем современного энергетического права, имеющей чрезвычайно важное значение для дальнейшего развития энергетической отрасли Республики Таджикистан и других государств с весомым гидроэнергетическим потенциалом. В частности, в статье поднимается проблема о необоснованности общепризнанной позиции, что крупные ГЭС не относятся к возобновляемым источникам энергии. Авторы статьи исследовали ряд публикаций, в которых излагается идея признания принадлежности крупных ГЭС к возобновляемым источникам энергии, и в рамках настоящей статьи развили её с учётом собственных наблюдений и доводов в контексте гидроэнергетического потенциала Республики Таджикистан.

An individual monotown is a unique combination of available resources, trends and potential. Earlier management decisions, due to their uniformity, did not take such specifics into account.
