According to the Avesta agency, the energy company of Tajikistan, “Barki Tojik,” does not disclose data on the cost of each kilowatt of electricity for export. It is reported that this company intends to increase electricity exports in the future.
Despite the increase in electricity exports to neighboring countries, “Barki Tojik” reported that in winter, the company exports less electricity. At the same time, “Barki Tojik” does not disclose data on the volumes of planned electricity supplies to Afghanistan and Uzbekistan this year.
At a press conference on February 14, representatives of “Barki Tojik” stated that Tajikistan produced a record amount of electricity in 2022 – 21.5 billion kilowatt-hours, of which 1.7 billion kilowatt-hours were exported to Afghanistan, and 1.6 billion kilowatt-hours to Uzbekistan for a total of 106 million dollars.
However, during the cold period of the year, residents of the country sit in darkness and cold, as there are restrictions on electricity supply. In remote areas of the country, residents report that electricity is provided only 5 hours a day – 2 hours in the morning and 3 hours in the evening.
