However, compared to the same period last year, the volume of electricity exports decreased by 26.6% or $1.8 million.
During this period, the country produced over 3.7 billion kWh of electricity, which is 9.8% more than the figure for the same period in 2021. At the same time, in most regions of Tajikistan, residents complained about the introduction of limits on electricity consumption. Residents are questioning what is happening with such a large amount of electricity produced in Tajikistan and why President Rahmon’s promise that the electricity limit would turn into “a fairy tale” is not being fulfilled.
It was previously reported that “Barki Tojik” signed agreements with energy companies from Afghanistan and Uzbekistan for electricity supplies to these countries for 2022.
In February, the head of “Barki Tojik,” Madumar Asozoda, informed the media that the country plans to export 1.5 billion kWh of electricity to Afghanistan this year.
According to him, in the agreement signed with the Afghan company “Breshna” in December last year in Tashkent, the price of one kWh of electricity for Afghanistan will be 4.67 cents.
In accordance with the bilateral agreement, 1.4 billion kWh of electricity will be exported to Uzbekistan this year at a price of 2 cents per kilowatt.
According to “Barki Tojik,” last year, 1 billion 275.2 million kWh of electricity was exported to Afghanistan for a total of 635.9 million somoni ($56.2 million at the then-official exchange rate).
The electricity export figure to Uzbekistan amounted to 1 billion 146.8 million kWh for a total of 258.8 million somoni ($22.9 million at the then-official exchange rate).
“Barki Tojik” is one of the largest debtor companies in Tajikistan. The total creditor debt of the “Barki Tojik” holding at the end of 2021 amounted to about 32.3 billion somoni (about $2.9 billion).
