DUSHANBE, Tajikistan, July 11. Over the past 33 years, generation capacity in the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region of Tajikistan has increased nearly fivefold, Trend reports citing the Ministry of Energy and Water Resources of Tajikistan.
Based on the empirical data, in the year 1991, the region's
electrical generation capacity was a mere 10.4 megawatts. By 2024,
this metric escalated to 47.5 MW—representing a 4.7-fold
amplification.
From 1991 to 2024, the area experienced the establishment and
operational launch of 16 electrical substations, exceeding 217
kilometers of 110 kV high-voltage transmission infrastructure, 289
kilometers of 35 kV transmission corridors, and in excess of 560
kilometers of newly developed low-voltage distribution
networks.
In the fiscal year 2024, Tajikistan's aggregate electricity
generation achieved a milestone of 22.427 billion kWh, reflecting a
3 percent uptick relative to the preceding annum. Concurrently, the
electricity export metrics for 2024 registered at 2.478 billion
kWh, reflecting a decrement of 7.8 percent relative to the figures
from 2023. The primary stakeholders in the importation of Tajik
electricity encompassed Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, and
Kyrgyzstan.
In the previous fiscal year, the energy dissipation metrics within
Tajikistan’s electrical grid experienced a decrement of 1.2
percent, culminating in a total loss equivalent to 20 percent of
the aggregate electricity generation output.
