“Barqi Tojik” does not know when the electricity limit will be lifted

The management of the energy company “Barki Tojik” has named the reasons for the introduction of energy limits but did not specify when the population will be fully supplied with electricity.

On February 13, 2024, the director of the state energy holding company “Barki Tojik,” Mahmadumar Asozoda, stated at a press conference that he does not know when the limit on electricity supply to the population will be lifted. “The resolution of this issue depends on weather conditions, the amount of precipitation, and water reserves in reservoirs,” he noted.

At the same time, one of the main reasons for the introduction of restrictions on electricity supply to the population was cited by the energy holding’s director as a “disbalance” between consumers and water reserves in the republic’s reservoirs during the autumn-winter period. He emphasized that “with an increase in precipitation, the population will be fully supplied with electricity.”

On the other hand, the management of the energy holding “Barki Tojik” complains that in 2023, electricity losses in the republic amounted to 3.1 billion kWh, with the main reason for the increase in electricity loss being the influence of the “human factor.”

Thus, the management of the company “Barki Tojik” acknowledged that employees of the company are involved in corrupt schemes.

“Cases of law violations in electricity supply involve both employees of the company ‘Barki Tojik’ and consumers. They commit such actions in collusion,” Asozoda stated.

Over the past 10 years, the company “Barki Tojik” has implemented more than 14 projects aimed at reducing electricity losses and lifting energy limits, costing tens of millions of dollars. However, today the management of the energy holding acknowledges that the main reason for the increase in electricity losses is the corrupt actions of some employees of this company.
