Authorities explained the electricity limit by weather conditions

On August 10 of this year, a press conference was held by “Barki Tojik.” Company representative Tokhirov Dustmurad informed journalists that the introduction of energy limits during the autumn-winter period is related to the weather situation and the decrease in water levels in the Vakhsh River.

According to him, “if the water in the Vakhsh River rises above the average annual level and the Nurek reservoir is filled with water, then the imbalance in the production and use of electricity will decrease.”

However, residents of some regions of the country report that if the introduction of energy limits is related to a water shortage, then why is electricity cut off even in spring and summer for several hours a day.

Usually, authorities explain the introduction of energy limits during the spring-summer period by repair and “preventive” works. However, residents are convinced that the electricity shortage is due to the export of electricity to neighboring countries.

The lack of electricity in Tajikistan is a problem that has not been resolved for 30 years since the rise to power of Emomali Rahmon. Nevertheless, he continues to sell electricity abroad without hindrance.
