On October 13, the press center of the energy company “Barki Tojik” stated in its address that according to industry specialists’ calculations, this year the projected seasonal electricity deficit could exceed one billion kilowatt-hours.

“The flow of the Vakhsh River in summer averages from 2000 to 2200 cubic meters per second, while in winter this figure is 150-200 cubic meters. Therefore, for electricity production in the winter period, water stored in the reservoir is mainly used,” the statement notes.

Given the projected seasonal electricity deficit, there is a likelihood that during the winter, the country’s energy system will lack water resources, reports “Barki Tojik.”

At the same time, social media reported that “Barki Tojik” began to disconnect electricity in many cities and regions of the country, including the capital, as early as September.

The limit on electricity consumption for the population, especially in autumn, winter, and early spring, has been one of the main problems in the country for the past two decades. Although there are dozens of ways to address this issue, including the use of solar panels, the creation of small and medium hydropower plants, wind generators, and others, the authorities are unwilling to address it in a timely manner.
