From January to March 2024, Tajikistan supplied neighboring countries with electricity worth about 7.2 million dollars.
According to the Agency for Statistics under the President of Tajikistan, revenue from electricity exports in January amounted to over 2.4 million dollars, in February – 2.8 million dollars, and in March – nearly 2 million dollars.
According to media reports, Tajikistan has agreements for electricity supplies in 2024 only with two countries – Afghanistan and Uzbekistan.
At the same time, authorities always claim that electricity exports to Uzbekistan occur only in the spring-summer period, while supplies to Afghanistan have decreased tenfold: from 400 MW to 40 MW. However, despite this, the country is experiencing a severe shortage of electricity.
The authorities of Tajikistan imposed a limit on electricity consumption since September of last year, and in some hard-to-reach areas even earlier. With the onset of severe cold, the restrictions became even stricter. However, the authorities have not officially confirmed the introduction of the limit.
Although the Ministry of Energy and the state energy holding “Barki Tojik” were given strict instructions to provide residents with electricity for at least 10 hours a day, with the onset of winter, the capital and some cities and regions of the republic received electricity for only 3-4 hours a day, while in remote areas, it was only for 1 hour in the evening and 1 hour in the morning.
